Re: Is Business DSL throttled?
Teksavvy support didn't know as of last night. I don't know if anyone outside of Bell knows conclusively at this point. Nobody knows about HSA connections either--Nexxia would probably bend over backwards to break them if they became popular.
It's a reasonable educated guess, based on information posted here[1] to conclude that all PPPoE will be degraded. Bell allegedly does not consider preventing VPN access to be a big deal for business users on the grounds that no business user would want to use a VPN after office hours.
I'll take this moment to point out, again, that with Rogers disrupting encrypted traffic 24/7, it is not clear if there will be any way for VPN users to reach their networks at using any provider at any tier of service. It's not alarmist to state that Rogers and Bell traffic filtering has the potential to effectively prevent secure telecommuting in all of Ontario.
Anyone who will be effected by this needs to make sure their employers, unions, and industry associations are well informed about the problem. The Feds won't care that much about the torrent of individual complaints they're getting but they will stand up and take notice when businesses stand up and say Nexxia is unilaterally threatening Canada's economic competitiveness and national security.

| I saw a posting on the Sympatico forum that it is not throttled (based on one users tests). So if TekSavvy is having theirs throttled and Bell doesn't - that is even another issue - and it is a blatant discriminatory practice.
I still want Bell execs arrested for peeking into my data without a warrant though  |
