Re: are any other isp's throttled?

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. VelcomMatt said:

"At the end of the day both Velcom & Acanac use the physical Bell circuit. Therefore, if you are far from Bell's CO/Equipment your speeds will be limited with any ISP. [...] You may have seen all the threads here and Bell is now throttling third party wholesalers as well."

In other words, you're throttled with all ISPs including Velcom.

 It depends on the area, and if Bell has turned on packet shaping. Rumor has it that it's done if the area is congested, or is nearing congestion. Also if you are on a fibre/Gig-E fed remote, they should not be throttled.

All DSL service providers across the board are throttled.
