Re: Official Response...
the only reason Sabia got a "bonus" is he managed to flog the company to the Teachers Pension Fund. |

said by Antonin  :You don't run a successful business by neglecting to plan. Bell has clearly demonstrated (hell, they've admitted it) that they fell down when it comes to planning. Also, by not informing their "resellers" in advance (even under non-disclosure, if necessary) they've clearly demonstrated that they don't trust anyone. Not to defend what they've done, but I don't think it's a matter of planning. They are no longer willing to invest in the infrastructure. They used the old dial up analogy (15-1, 20-1 customers to modems), now they've reached a point in which the ratio is so out of whack they've had to resort to other ways to insure that they ratio doesn't get even further out of whack. So lets throttle, lets cap, lets meter (shudder), that will buy us what? Another 5-10 years on our current systems.
The real question is after all this has been implemented and we are now that 5-10 years down the road.. now what? |

With the seemingly exponential growth of the net, I would be surprised if we don't reach this critical mass within 2 years ... what are ISP's doing about this, you can't stretch an old model for decades. |

said by Arbalister :said by jpabboud :Can someone ask Bell why they would limit wholesalers when these guys are using their own bandwidth to begin with ? Or are they talking about the bandwidth on their internal net between the DSLAMS and Bell's internal network. What they are affecting is the 'last mile' bandwidth - the route through the Bell ATM cloud that links the end user to their ISP. Really, honestly, they're not filtering the internet at all. They are filtering what people bring in from the internet, onto Bells private network. This is what's so wrong about it - companies like TSI have leased specific amounts of bandwidth in that cloud. For all intents, they own it. Its just like when you rent a house - for all intents, you own it. Even the landlord needs to provide you written notice when he's going to set foot in it. The landlord is expect to maintain it, but if he ever told you that you can't have pizza delivered anymore, you'd laugh at him. Bell just told us we can't have Pizza delivered. Thats the best analogy I've seen yet with regards to this B.S. Thats the message that should be sent out there not the BT, DPI P2P etc story. It's too complicated for the average Joe. |

said by TakeTheFifth :said by jfmezei :>Regular Videotron service isn't throttled either, just >capped. Which is why Bell will delay as much as possible introduction of its "new and improved" throttled service to areas served by Videotron. (and why Ontario is being throttled first.) And if Bell keeps this up, DSL will lose the battle to cable. Phil Cable is a disaster, and absolutely no different then the DSl services, when it comes to DPI, throttling , not to mention Ted wanting to meter your connection |
