Has anybody else had problems with their internet connection suddenly shutting off after about 5 minutes of full capacity downloading? I've been told this is a common practice amongst internet providers when they think you're using the full capacity of your connection for downloading.

Has anybody else had this experience with Auna/Ono or other providers?

I have jazztel and it seems to clog up or something every so often and I have to unplug the power and then plug it back in and then it seems to work fine for a while or at least until I have to do it again. This happens two or three times a day for me and lately even more. I thought it was because I put in the order for the 20 megs ADSL and they are fiddling with the lines or something, but it could be what you said.

Hey Scooter--
I was just reading about this on a torrent download site... The word from chronic downloaders is that Ono puts limits on bandwith during certain times of the day. So does Ya.com.
