How to piss me off with online video sharing websites

The idea of sharing an internet connection with strangers can be really annoying, not that I have a choice, but was forced to because the landlord says so, I do have the option of acquiring my own telephone line but it is going to cost me a bomb.

Long story short, the situation was made worst when I am forced to share the internet connection with 7 people in the house; the best part is the broadband connection quota for every month capped at 40GB. That is like 170MB for each person per day, which is hardly enough. The 40GB cap per month is the ceiling quota from the company.

Since the broadband internet connection is limited to 40GB per month, why can’t these users be more considerate? Is it a must to watch funny videos online, multimedia sites such as YouTube really annoys me, especially video streaming sites that uses torrent technology.

I found a few ways to block Azureus, but could not find a solution towards the much more popular p2p video streaming software known as ppstream.com, its a Chinese video streaming website that utilize p2p technology and it is really killing the bandwidth. As much as I would like to scream ‘Go back to China’, but that is somewhat rude. (No racism here, I’m Chinese but not from China)

Buying a new VPN modem is out of the question, it is just way too expensive and why should I be the one paying for the hardware? P2P technology, it is a love hate relationship. God help me.
