| Funniest comment on a Bell throttling new article
Please feel free to add your own to this thread. I was reading the CBC website stories about this whole thing and here's what a user posted (it's a laugh with him kind of thing, not a laugh at him one):

Whaaaattttt????? You mean the beavers lied!
What happend to all my downloads!
What happened to the beaver screaming out the window for everyone else to turn off their internet? but his brother tells him its OK to download because they are on DSL which isn't affected?
Does Bell Management watch their own marketing?
What a crock!!!!!!!

Yes I've been thinking about that since yesterday. I can't keep myself but laughing
EDIT: The actual ad is here
Doesn't that alone qualify for legal action due to false advertising? |

Not so many years ago Ford put out an ad showing one of their trucks driving up and over a massive pile of jumbled rock. Someone driving down a dirt road hit a pothole, the box of the pickup slammed forward and dented the back of the cab. He successfully sued for damages based on the ad. The ad was considered a warranty or something like that. |

That's a very old ad (almost two years), and substantially predates the throttling. |

Hi there,
Yeah, but it's still evidence that they can use. Just image someone saw that ad, sign up who knows what contract because of that ad and all that crap came now. Bait-and-switch, I say, even it's been a while...
Maybe all their marketing ads can be use as evidence if the ISPs goes in court for this...

Somebody has to get in Photoshop and do something about those beavers... somehow.
We could then have this pic made into a sig and pasted across the internet  |

When I typed in "unfunny, failure" in Google image search, that's what I got. |
