Re: Primus DSL, uncapped and unthrottled?

I have been with Primus for about 2 years and luckily have not been affected by the recent Bell throttling, however I know that about 1 year ago I was switched from Bell equipment to Primus equipment because I was having issues with my DSL and found the issue to be a bad port. I don't know why some people are throttled and some not, but it might be because Primus uses alot of their own equipment unlike other ISP resellers.

Interesting, so you're on a Primus DSLAM? If so, then yes throttling will not affect you because the only thing Bell controls in that case is the physical copper line.

I guess that must be the reason. When the whole Bell throttling issue became an issue for everyone, I did those torrent test and always passed them. I do see slowdowns at night, but not stuck at 30KB/s like others.

Hope this helps.
