Re: Teksavvy's throttling now? Just a vent, nothing is needed.
I'm trying to download CBC's "Canada's Next Great Prime Minister" and getting throttled @50K in Sheppard & Kennedy. I have the Premium package.
I'm afraid to use VPN wouldn't be a solution. Bell, like Rogers will just throttle encrypted traffic.
Maybe this is all some bad mistake, but that is doubtful. We will find out tomorrow.
The only options may be:
1) Some action by a government organization CRTC, Competition Bureau, etc. I'm afraid the CRTC may be clueless. If the CRTC wants to exist, they need to become relevant, and stop this anti-competitive behavior.
2) Net Neutrality Legislation. This may come into fruition in the USA, as Obama is a big proponent of Net Neutrality. If he wins, and passes legislation, hopefully Canada would follow. Unfortunately Canadian politicians probably won't lead in this area, they are really out of touch. Green party is the only party for Net Neutrality.
3) Unfortunately until 1 or 2 happens maybe the independent ISP's can get together and install their own DSLAM's, like Primus did. |

The mods didn't seem to like my little play on Bell... So guess I'll tone it down a bit....

Those in iceland, North Korea, or europe however can have unfettered access to Canadian content.
hope this was toned down enough for their liking  |

Try other torrents
Try some different torrents with a lot of seeders and report back.

| Actually looking at it closer, it is actually capped at 30kBps. This downloading both the CBC show and Fedora-8-Live-i686. This is unencrypted.
At the moment I can get around this by using encryption, but I wonder how long before Bell starts throttling encrypted traffic.
My client is Azureus. |

My client is Azureus. encryption in utorrent works fine for me as well. i wonder why encryption works for us and not for most other people. i'm connected to a co vs a remote if that makes any difference. |
