Holy fucking shit.
Poor bastard is in for a rough landing. Some one should tell him.
you're surprised?
it's their infrastructure. if you don't like the terms of their agreements, you aren't forced to sign them.
getting governments to regulate how businesses should offer their services is completely retarded.
-bell started throttling bittorrent traffic by bell sympatico customers during peak hours
-bell then started throttling all bittorrent traffic including traffic on their network from their whole sale customers during peak hours
-wholesalers whined to crtc
-crtc sides with bell
meanwhile only whining kids that hog bandwidth stealing movies and music are upset while the millions of other customers bell has maintain their service level.

I'm not surprised and I didn't sign anything. I'm with aei which is a reseller. It still sucks.
I don't download anything and my internet randomly freezes and chokes up all the time because of their shitty-ass traffic shaping.Bell is shitty, throttling is shitty, monopolies are shitty. Fuck off.
really, "traffic shaping" is doing that? Is that your diagnosis?
ofn
for people stealing music, yeah i imagine it is.

Yes, generally it's a duopoly, not a monopoly. Is that better? Not by a whole fucking lot.
And have a 30gig limit download and upload combined. No thanks.

except one is dsl and the other one is Cable (rogers)
My man, I get speeds of 900kb/s steady, with rogers. Been with them for over 7 years and never had internet issues. Had Bell at the office and it was the biggest piece of shit. They wouldn't even offer a high speed connection due to my "location". I'm in downtown Toronto dude, like I'm talking the main artery of downtown like Times square is to new york. When I wanted to upgrade to a faster connection they said all they could do is give me this WiMAX bullshit connection

i've had rogers and bell.
rogers was shit at one apt, its awesome where i am now. bell was awesome at one place, and terribad at others.
your good experience really doesn't mean anything. i know people that can't hold a connection for an hour on rogers... and with bell... like i said they are all shitty and everything is situational.
do you know how dsl works? you dont live in the great spot you think you do or you're in a CO black hole. they aren't going to build a new co for you if there is no reason to so they have to lose the business. that's how dsl works.
you mean they tried to offer you high speed over wimax instead of not trying to sell you something at all?!When I wanted to upgrade to a faster connection they said all they could do is give me this WiMAX bullshit connection
what kind of whacky business are they trying to run!
