| Well, now I cant get my work emails... Rocky, something has to be done now.
I just logged onto my VPN at work and I cannot use Lotus notes at all as my emails are not downloading. The replication process has slowed to such a crawl that I cannot even get any work done from home anymore.
This is completely unacceptable. | |

| Wouldn't one of the primary uses of a VPN be to allow secure access TO your companies Exchange server? I'll bet that more than 50% of all VPN sessions include some Exchange traffic. I use a VPN to access Exchange almost daily. My boss has something approaching a 2 gig Exchange account and uses a VPN to access it without any problem. | |

According to Bell, VPN disruption will not be a problem for business users because no business user would ever want to access their work network after hours.
Upgrading to PPPoE business DSL won't help.
Upgrading to $100/month non-PPPoE DSL *might* help but we don't know yet.
Switching to Rogers won't help as they're doing the same thing.
Basically you can't access your work VPN anymore unless their is legal or political intervention to bring Bell to heel. There is nothing Teksavvy can do about it technically and there is no other ISP you can switch to. You're screwed.
You should tell Industry Canada and the CRTC what you think about that. You should ask your company to tell IC and the CRTC what they think about it, too. | |

Yeah, but Bell does not knowingly break everyone's dsl connectivity. Line issues are dealt with and repaired on a case by case basis. Imagine the extra workload when the entire Bell supplied area gets throttled, and TONS of people start calling in saying their stuff is slow, and no I don't mean just torrents, but the legitimate apps that employ encryption that people use for work. TekSavvy prides itself on customer service, but in a worst case scenario if most of their CSR's are dealing with irate people with problems on the phone, email, and on DSLR, that reputation will fade away as people with other issues are put in a waiting queue. And thru no fault of their own.

The fact that traffic can't be filtered without an unacceptable rate of false positives is one very big reason why no ISP should be filtering traffic at all. The Internet would not have developed to what it is today if the pioneers in the 1970s, 80s and 90s needed to beg permission to use some new esoteric protocol (like, say, HTTP) over the public network. As things stand today, destroying connectivity for everyone who has the gall to use their internet service for more than web&email is not acceptable collateral damage for crushing the arch nemesis of Bell profits known as P2P.
It's good that you're appearing to make an attempt to reduce collateral damage caused by Bell Canada management but you're only making yourself look like a jackass by trying to defend the indefensible fact that Bell is undermining all competing DSL ISPs. | |

Maybe so, then again, maybe not. Neither of us can really prove it either way. But consider the sample size, here. You've mentioned a dozen sympatico customer, out of those active on *this* forum. In the time since Sympatico admitted throttling, I personally have signed up a dozen people changing from Bell (I run an ISP myself.) Teksavyy has signed how many more? Acanac?
In 12 years of ISP business I've never seen such a reversal of the flow of customers - I'm used to losing customers to Sympatico high speed, not gaining them. And even then, the ones I lose are usually due to misinfomation - they either didn't know I offered DSL or they got sucked in by a "bundle" that's going to "save money." ("Just give us 50 bucks a month more, and we'll give you 10 bucks back! See! You save!" Meanwhile I sell highspeed for 35...."Um...save what?")
Anyhow, on topic. It's readily evident that this move has already hurt Bell in subscriber numbers. And novice to the industry can see that. It's blatantly obvious that this move is to make it hurt the ISPs as well. And by ISPs I only include the independants. Rogers, Cogeco, Shaw, Bell...they aren't ISPs. Not until it's their primary business, and they are no longer the suppliers of essential services to competing independants. | |

| I use AT&T VPN + Lotus Notes and I have yet to run into an issue with my TekSavvy. My torrents are hitting 450kB/s+ at all hours, so I'm not throttled, yet.
When I was with Rogers years ago, when they started throttling all encrypted traffic in my neighbourhood, I had trouble keeping my connection online when I used the VPN + Lotus Notes or Remote Desktop Connection. I lived like that for two weeks before I tossed in the towel.
I went to Bell Symatico and then in early 2006 the same issue started occurring with them during "6pm-2am only". Whether it be throttling back then or just crappy network quality, they blamed my house wiring etc, even after they sent a technician to investigate and found there were no wiring problems between me and the CO. I lived through this on and off for a month and then switched to TekSavvy when my contract expired. Haven't happened since. | |

| RE: various business applicatiosn not working.
This is very typical of Bell. And not surprising.
Bell is a two faced monster: It runs highly profitable business services with very high prices charged because Bell knows that business will pay for them.
It also runs a low margin residential high volume offering. This is based on essentially the same platforms. However, to differentiate this from the expensive business offering, the residential services are crippled. (no static IPs, blocked ports, no servers, no reverse DNS etc).
WHY ? Because if they didn't cripple the residential offering, business users would refuse to pay for the exhorbitently more expensive "business" services and would move to residential offerings whenever they could and this would cannabalise their revenus.
In a monopoly situation, they do not factor in companies like ISTOP (or now Teksavvy) that can come in and offer businesses fully "un-crippled" connections at roughly residential prices.
It appears that Bell is now waking up to this and wants to cripple residential service so that it can only be used for recreational web surfing. You work from home and your VPN doesn't work ? Get a business line and business service and you can then get VPN to work will be Bell's argument. | |

Get a business line and business service and you can then get VPN to work will be Bell's argument. Furthermore, Bell hasn't unequivocally stated that it will allow third party DSL ISPs provide business grade service at any price. We know that PPPoE business connections will be filtered. Bell has said that non-PPPoE business services will be exempt. We can assume, based on network topology, that HSA accounts will be exempt, but it's not known if Bell intends to leave HSA alone in the long run.
Even if Bell leaves HSA alone, they have created an environment of fear, uncertainty and doubt that undermines the commercial viability of currently unfiltered HSA access sold by third party ISPs. Not many businesses are going to be willing to fork over a $250 setup fee + $100 a month for an HSA line that could be filtered at Bell's whim without notice or recourse. These doubts do not exist over Bell's non-PPPoE services and therefore Bell reaps a anticompetitive advantage by withholding information regarding its intentions. | |
