surely there are better ways of achieving this in your routers,<br><br>simply differentiating the route based on TCP port 80 would get 85% of their clients..<br>sure people could bypass it, but it wouldn't be in their interest to do so in the case your proposing.<br>
It would also have the upside of people being able to do host overrides, and not breaking some sites.<br><br>the whole proxy thing is kinda odd actually, being that ive seen figures around that HTTP traffic is now<br>such a low percentage of bandwidth... why bother.

As I understand the proxies are on ranges that are advertised to the<br>
"good" bandwidth supply so that customers browsing remains relatively<br>
unaffected regardless of how hard they run the "bad" bandwidth supply.<br>
