Re: Bell Sympatico Speed Test.
Nice speed, too bad its costs $100/month, is capped at 100GB, and is P2P throttled.

| Nope! I don't pay that price...$42.95 per/mo. Regular home owner's, yes, pay $101.95 per/mo.
Bell has upgraded 500 buildings in the Toronto area, 22 customer's have subscribed to the 16Mpbs todate.
Condo/Apartment resident's only pay $42.95 because all the equipment is installed in the basement of the building. As far as being capped at 100GB per/mo, that's perfect for me, as I don't play online games, download music/movies; never was into that.
When I was with Rogers HiSpeed Lite, I was paying $34.95 for 1Mpbs. For $7.00 more-a-month with Bell Sympatico 16Mpbs, I receive up to 16Mpbs.  |

Hamilton, ON | Yep, those are good speeds. Thing is, if you don't P2P or game or really download anything, the speed is mostly wasted. You'll get your webpages lightning fast though |

I've just never been into the habit of playing onlines games, P2P, or anything other than surfing/emailing. The speed, though, is fantastic for what I do on the net. |

| You can test your connection for throttling here:
»broadband.mpi-sws.mpg.de/transpa···est.php?
There are legitimate uses for P2P and just because you don't use it now doesn't mean you won't in the future. I don't play on-line games either and I seldom use P2P, but I am still completely against any form of throttling.
I would suggest running the test later in the evening to ensure Bell's throttling is in effect, it doesn't always start at 4pm. |

I completely agree with you about the throttling, it's not fair play. I don't completely understand this throttling business only because I don't fall into that category. |
