Re: Bell Sympatico Speed Test.
I think he means P2P throttling. a http web test wouldn't be throttled.

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. |
