# GrabPERF: FiOS and BitTorrent – Don't Play Nice

I fired up the Boston FIoS measurement location today after a couple of days off, and found that suddenly FIoS doesn't like the BitTorrent.

The line of purple dots all indicate measurements that reported an error code. All of those measurements come from Boston FiOS. See the real-time graph
