| Re: Un-Offical Stop the Traffic Shaping Petition First ... I don't see what an "Unofficial petition" means.
Second ... Online petitions historically don't carry any weight, and worse, monopolies don't give a darn about them anyway.
Third ... This is primarily a repeat of the hundreds of other posts in here but hey what the heck let's see how it goes ...
So here's the rules ...
1 posting per person ... any evidence of dupes will be removed and if you're anon, you must post from Bell.
Limit your comments to a few lines only.
Include your location by City (or part of City ... like East York, Scarborough etc.) | |

Canada | Bell is evil. They're now even throttling those who subscribe to other DSL providers. I hope their stock plunges. | |

| Bit Torrent throttling prevents many "legal" activities...
including downloading updates for my ubuntu desktop, patching my WOW. Many more examples.
Also, since this throttling has begun i've noticed a lot of problems with network latency and line speed not being consistant.
Not to mention paying for a service and only getting 5% of what you're paying for. Brutal.
No, i'm not a bell customer (anymore), but with the current practice of throttling wholesalers, i'm now being affected. | |

| Re: Un-Offical Stop the Traffic Shaping Petition This crap I pay $50 a month to have unlimited Downloads.
Now they want to cap and cut my service but still want me to pay $50.00 a month.
I play a lot of online gaming last night was the worst, Normally i get a ping of 30 to 50 depends on the server i play on, I'm playing a game called Urban Terror, One of the servers i play on has a ping of 12, my ping was 225 i had so much lag i was kicked from the server. And over the weekend my ping was 135.
I live in Toronto, Yonge and Eglinton area.
This is just BS. | |

@teksavvy.com | What bell is doing especially to third party isp's should be illegal.
I have a connection from bell on my main line and teksavvy on my fax line. I am VERY angry at bell shaping my teksavvy connection as I now have no other isp to turn to. | |

Canada | Bell should have mentioned something about this in the contract, or atleast make a official public announcement instead of moving in the shadows and giving a green light to this... The fact that they didn't is unfair. | |

| Once again the corporation as psychopath. It is not surprising behavior from Bell and is the best argument Bell itself could make for regulating it and the cable companies.
I was an Expressvu customer. Contract completed. Service terminated. I will never again subscribe.
I was a Bell mobile customer (my wife's phone). No contract. We will be switching and will never again subscribe to Bell for mobile phone service.
I am affected by Bell's (lack of) service. A download of Ubuntu now is tedious and I must leave running my bittorrent client which in turn slows my system affecting my quality of life because it affects my speech recognition and text-to-speech software that disease and disability require me to use. Yes, I am very angry. | |

| Last July a Bell representative called me up and offered me a one year contract for $35/month and I took it. However, every month I had to call them up to correct my bill as they tried to still charge me $50/month. Every month they had to manually correct the bill. Then they tried to charge me for downloading so many GBs of data and I had to call them up to correct that as my contract had no data quantity limitations. I told the representatives that this has been a big hassle and I will definitely be looking for another provider when my contract is up this July. The throttling issue serves as further motivation. | |

| Re: Un-Offical Stop the Traffic Shaping Petition You should just use all that hassle as grounds for them to cancel the contract without paying the early termination fee, and take your business elsewhere. Clearly they are not living up to the contract deal if you have to keep getting them to adjust it.

| Bell is not going to give a hoot about this. As sbrook says.
What is going to result is Bell getting forced to allow competition. Meaning teksavvy. So no petition is necessary.
The free market will eliminate bell from their refusal to deal. Bell will be overrun like Internet Explorer has by firefox. | |

| Re: Un-Offical Stop the Traffic Shaping Petition Alas, it's not the free market that will do this, it's regulation. If Microsoft had its way, we wouldn't be able to run FF on its OS ... It's anti-trust judgements that ensure that it cannot. That's not the free market at work, that's necessary regulation of anti-competitive activity! | |
