Whittier, AK | Courts he they come. I would think unless it is specifically written out in contracts they have with Bell Canada, BC would not be able to throttle traffic that comes from wholesale parners.

| Its funny Teksavvy has never had a problem passing as much bandwidth as they need through their equipment, but the big Bell can't.
This whole think reeks of anti-competitive behavior. |

I don't think TekSavvy has any of their own copper plant anywhere. If I'm correct, then your theory is flawed. It's far easier to add another Gig-E / DS3 / whatever link on the backend (in this case TekSavvy's part of the system) than it is to add additional plant capacity (in this case Bell's copper loops to the individual subscribers).

The issue Bell is claiming is that the DS3/OC3 capacity in their fiber plant is becoming over saturated - which they haven't offered any proof of. |

You're misunderstanding the issue. The copper loops are already in place. What bell is claiming to be the problem, is their internal ATM network, which is complete BS. This has nothing to do with capacity and everything to do with POWER and control. They want to limit and stop the migration of their own sympatico customers towards third party DSL providers.

 Very true, Bell has done this to kill of the massive exodus of its customers to other providers. Bell's form letter response to the wholesalers is a farce "We understand the difficulty this action has caused for you and your customers who are P2P users, but the majority of your end users will experience an increased level of satisfaction." - Reminds me of the novel "1984".

I think they did have language in their contracts about this. AT&T has similar language in their contracts. |
