I maintain an SSH connection to a couple of servers at home so I can diagnose issues at work. Since both SSH servers use port 22, I port forward through my router using two separate high ports. I then tunnel VNC servers through the SSH connection.
I've noticed over the last few days that the connections have been particularly slow. At first I thought this might be an issue with our network where I work. But I was told that the only throttling we do here is on particularly well-known bit-torrent ports. So I changed my port forwarding. Instead of using ports 19036 and 19015, I tried 1036 and 1015. Problem solved.
Is this something that PN do? Are ports above a certain value subject to some form of throttling? This isn't a moan by the way, just curious. It would be handy to know so that I know which ports not to use in future.
You know what a turtle is? Same thing.

Assuming you're on one of the newer products, there's no throttling on them.
But I was told that the only throttling we do here is on particularly well-known bit-torrent ports.
Not sure if it's still the same, but BitTorrent used to use quite high port numbers.

I'm on Unlimited Fibre Extra. I have no idea if that is a "newer" product or not. Been with PN since it was F9!
