Switzerland

I won’t detail the things I had to do in order to get a decent DSL connection to my place; suffice to say that whatever it was, it was worth it, because cable companies are notorious for capping bandwidth that you pay for. This awesome little app lets you know whether your ISP is being an asshole about bandwidth usage, blocking p2p, and otherwise slipping in other ways to screw the clueless customer. Of course, if you use Comcast or Optimum, you already know the answer to that question, and probably walk funny as a result.

This is awesome—thanks for the post. I'm really glad people are taking accountability for ISPs into their own hands. The FCC sure as hell won't do anything about it. Go EFF!
