Time warner Throttling connection

[Ares]

I found this out recently and it worked for me and my friends.

I've loaded most youtube streams at 1080 without buffering, and though I share.
Use the IP range posted above and put it in the windows firewall guide below.

Guide for Windows users is here.

Thanks, screw TWC.

[Tyche]

Any way to do this in DD-WRT or make the changes on an iPad?

[SephYuyX]

iptables -I FORWARD -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/xx -j DROP

[Tyche]

Thank you sir

[Vade]

I don't get how to use IP Tables in DD-WRT..any help? Googling didn't help at all.

Nevermind I think I figured it out.

[Hyuudo]

Just tried it out and it worked instantly and perfectly. Loaded a test of a 1080p YT vid, not one single second of buffering.
My highest praises, good sir.

These are the same idiots that say there is no consumer interest in gigabit ftth

[Caiyuo]

From the comments it seems like the blame might actually be on the youtube CDN and not necessarily any one ISP, might help those not with Time Warner, too.

I'm guessing there's no way to do this without running a firewall of some type?

[Hiryo]

Wow im surprised this worked so well... My internet has been crap lately.

If you're running Win7/8/Vista, you probably have the built-in firewall on without even realizing it.

Where do you block IP's from Windows Firewall on W7?

[Byrthnoth]

Go to the Start Menu and type "Windows Firewall" then click "Windows Firewall and Advanced Security" and follow the instructions in the OP. My firewall was apparently off because I use a different Firewall program, but I turned it on with everything set to "Allow" for this because I'm too lazy to set it up in the other Firewall program.

Time Warner is the same as Bright House, no? I remember a name change many years ago

[Hitoshura]

That isn't coming up... weird.

Go to your Start menu and type cmd, then right click it and run as admin. Once in there type in:

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SuckItTWC" dir=in action=block remoteip=173.194.55.0/24,206.111.0.0/16 enable=yes

then hit enter.

For some reason it wasn't letting me do it through the firewall settings, but doing it directly like this works and tbh is quicker

[Hitoshura]

I love you all.

[Guitarman]

Thanks for the Win7 explination, Byrth.

Make sure you guys are doing both an inbound AND outbound rule. Wasn't working until i did both.

Nope, I'm running XP SP3 and I know for a fact I'm not running a firewall, Windows or otherwise. I've just been relying on my router for things like that. Since none of these explanations seem to work in XP, I guess I'm screwed. Since I'm not that familiar with the Windows firewall technology, I don't think I could figure it out myself, and I wouldn't want to turn it on just for this even if I was familiar with it anyway. If there's another way to get the same result however, please tell me, as I would really like to know. I'm tired of the crap buffering same as everyone else.
