DPI Technology

Bell transits a shyte-ton of traffic any given second through the DPI devices. From what I've seen of the current crop of DPI devices, they physically don't have the capability to "snoop" beyond trying to recognize the packet payload.

I'm not saying this isn't a genuine concern as these devices get faster and more capable, but I think at this point they can't handle more than identifying BitTorrent payload. A complaint like this could be easily dismissed because it came out much too soon, and could be easily proven false. Once that happens, it's harder to make another complaint when the devices can properly snoop/classify/identify/store desired content.

How does Rogers inject html into people's webpages then? Sure seems like the DPI boxes can manage to understand what is coming in and have some process applied to it.
