Yeah, yeah- I know. 'Just add more bandwidth' is always the standard reply here, but doing so is neither easy or cheap.
If they don't want to add the capacity then they should SELL that capacity.

If I were to buy a dozen eggs from you and paid full price for them, I would be pretty ticked off if you gave me only 8 eggs because you didn't have enough chickens to fill demand.

Bell is selling bandwidth to their wholesale ISPs at a fixed rate with NO provision in the contract to arbitrarily limit that bandwidth, but they are doing just that. They are in blatant violation of their contract and if the CAIP fails with their CRTC appeal they can probably win against Bell is contract court.

Unfortunately the latter would likely take 3+ years to go through
