Johnnycanuk @bell.ca	I have no issues with my VPN, even after 5pm when my P2P slows down... Maybe I am just a freak exception? Weird... As for the CRTC decision, they certainly did not have enough time to determine irreparable harm, nor make an informed decision. Expect this one to drag out like everything else involving the CRTC...

I had a quick skim of one of those threads. It seems other encrypted traffic is not throttled if it is on standard ports. However, if you are running P2P it is being claimed that all traffic of any kind is suffering. Try running some P2P while using VPN see if things degrade.

DismantleCRTC @dsl.bell.ca	reply to Johnnycanuk Of course it will drag out since the CRTC is a Drag Queen for corporate interests. The 3rd parties ISP must be royally pissed off now. No it's not over but it sure as hell ain't going in the right direction. Screw Bell and screw the CRTC
