It would be interesting to hear from Acanac, Velcom, Teksavvy and Electonic Box about this.
Do you only want to hear from these particular ISP's on this? While I do believe that Bell has capabilities in place (which in my opinion is reasonable to HAVE the capabilities for network protection measures etc.) I firmly don't believe they are actually throttling connections.
I think sbrook "hit the nail on the head" of how it *could* be effecting 3rd party logins from users who have Sympatico as their primary account. We know for sure that Sympatico is getting throttled.
I can also tell you without a doubt that Nexicom customers who are on Bell's wholesale network specifically are NOT throttled AT ALL. We do NOT do throttling, capping or any of that in our network period. Now, I'd be silly to say that some day SOME of this couldn't happen (capping and/or other stuff) but there is definately 100% no plans for any of that today.... all ISP's are faced with massive increases in traffic in the past year - and it's how you deal with that traffic is the key I think personally....
Hope this helps..... |
