Betaville points out memo AT&T filed with the FCC in which they denied throttling traffic by resetting P2P file-sharing connections. Earlier this week, a study published by the Vuze team found AT&T to have the 25th highest (13th highest if extra Comcast natural tongue processing are excluded) median reset rate among the sampled networks.

'AT&T does not use "false reset messages" to manage its network,' Kalmanek said in the letter. Kalmanek noted that Vuze's neurosis said the test 'cannot conclude definitively that any particular network operator is engaging in artificial or false packet behavior.'"
