Re: Update on throttling issue...
Petitions are not too effective. Bell plans to throttle encrypted traffic so VPN solutions will not work. Independent ISP's may need to get together and install their own equipment, like Primus.
As a consumer vote with your wallet and boycott Bell and Rogers, or any other company that throttles. Cancel any Bell service you have and let them know why.
We need action by the government or a government body. Call your MP. A lawsuit may be in order. |

said by newSymp  :No matter how many links we post. No matter what we say, NO one but maybe 10-15 people will do anything. no one right does what they say What is the tipping point issue that will cause people to take action?
For me, this is it. I am not throttled (yet?), and don't download anywhere near as much as I used to a few years ago, but there is no way I'm going to just let this issue slide. |

Rocky,
I hope you realize what this means at the end of day!
Ultimately "YOU" get "SCREWED"
Teksavvy will loose 100's if not 1000's of possible new subscriptions and will also loose existing subscription due to BELL's tactics!
If this doesn't make you mad as hell than I don't know what to say.
I hope they get asses kicked and kicked hard.
This is an outrage to say the least!
Good luck with your future business.
Don't worry I'll stay with Teksavvy because I know I'm dealing with a PEOPLE'S COMPANY!
Regards, |

Hang in there, all third party ISPs will not accept this as it is anticompetetive on bells part. This isnt something that Rocky can make go away overnight.
Again, hang in there. |

I will stick with R0cky and TekSavvy no matter what. Bell is screwing everyone now. TekSavvy was probably building it's infrastructure and network around the type of customers and around the bandwith that it requieres. Now, all that for nothing because bell can control everything before it reaches TekSavvy's network.
This is completly unacceptable !!
I am 100% behind R0CKY and TekSavvy !!! |

So when is Bell going to impose a bandwidth cap on wholesalers' customers? If they think they can get away with this, I can guarantee that a low bandwidth cap will be next. That way, no matter what DSL ISP you go to, you'll always have Bell raping you, while they laugh all the way to the bank. |

I have a bad idea, please don't follow it.
everybody should call Bell's customer service at 5'30 pm. if many people at the same time were to call at their customer service, that'd be really bothersome for them. like a load balance of the number of calls they can actually take... |

I took the liberty of emailing Matt from velcom to make him aware of this as this is very troubling for me as a velcom customer since this is the reason I left rogers a year ago.
Hopefully all the resellers can work on this together and stick it to bell |

I'm just curious as to how this would affect TS users that are on Unlimited (which I assume, most take advantage of no-capping with p2p); you wouldn't be using BT, etc. as much due to crippled connections for half a day, everyday, wouldn't that tie into not using as much bandwidth as you normally would, thus thinking about moving back down to a Premium account? |

It makes no difference... Bell is doing this between you and Teksavvy... So basically no matter what Teksavvy does to change routing on their network. it makes no difference. |
