I have switched ISP's because I do a lot of VPN work from home with different companies, and cant any longer. Rogers says that if my traffic needs to be encrypted then too bad. What IT guy in the world would allow un-encrypted traffic under a VPN in and out! Rogers / Bell and any other ISP doing this "traffic shaping" for the better good of all are only concerned about one thing, limiting access to a "Free" system if they can watch and copy "pluck" any data from the stream they like.

Dillerd @rogers.com	And it looks as it's going to get much worse. A copywrite bill is coming forth. The Tories of course are responsible for this. Look for it to happen within the next five weeks or so. Look for Rogers to choke and block any significant conent after this bill is (hopefully not) passed. Got the info courtesy of Michael Geist's blog. If this bill is passed, we likely won't be able to download anything off the internet.We'll have to watch our backs for sure. Why is Canada looking like it's starting to adopt communism? Here's the link: »www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/2877/125/

I'm also getting the feeling that all of this is not merely coincidence. If the CRTC rules in favor of Bell then that will be the tipping point.
