Re: Is Business DSL throttled?
In other news, Excaliber's business DSL provider recently announced that they were moving their head office out of a cave in northern Quebec to a regular office in Montreal. When asked why they were moving, the company was quoted as saying "The high humidity environment of the natural locale was causing condensation issues with telecommunication equipment. Plus, nobody would run fibre up there." |

Bell's Business DSL has to be throttled or else it becomes anti-competitive because that prevents 3rd party ISPs from offering the same business class services.
This is garnering allot of support and the 3rd party ISPs are not going to lie down and let this happen.
It is literally do or die for some of them.
If you think Bell is going to tell anyone they are wrong, the 3rd party ISPs didn't even know until they confronted them and Bell admitted it the next day. |

| Any word on HSA ADSL links?
I would think that they are not throttling these? As they are not GAS DSL lines, but private links directly to 151 Front St.
I really dont want to replace my DSL lines with ADSL ones, but if thats what it takes.... |

said by Guspaz  :Bell's business DSL is throttled. Only their static IP services (and presumably their RADSL service) isn't throttled. In that case, I will specify that our NEXXIA connections have static IPs. |
