We could still sue a company and request for class action.

When signing up, do I use the name on the contract or my own, or both?

Which other applications besides torrents are irrefutably throttled?
If anyone tested this yet, are other application throttled as well when you use them in parallel with torrents?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20567843 Sat, 31 May 2008 06:55:51 EDT Re: Quebeckers hit Bell Canada with class action http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20567669 Quake110 :

Quebec has different civil law than Ontario or any other province. At least it did when I lived there many years ago.
Yup, Canadian provinces uses the common law (British) while Québec has the Civil code.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20567669 Sat, 31 May 2008 03:28:10 EDT Re: Quebeckers hit Bell Canada with class action http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20567523 olebiker : Quebec has different civil law than Ontario or any other province.

If Mr Geist would step up and get someone a contact lawyer and perhaps some donations for the cost could be had then you might see a class action.

As i said the issues i have had are not isolated.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20565503 Fri, 30 May 2008 18:22:20 EDT Re: Quebeckers hit Bell Canada with class action http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20565488 Sukunai : I'm from Quebec and legally speaking a lot of things are unique to Quebec. No idea if that is relevant here (not a lawyer).

But for once I guess we are getting mileage out of the innate classic French disagreeable nature :)

their infrastructure.

Personally I think a precedent to the class action would be more powerful than a CRTC ruling.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20565367 Fri, 30 May 2008 17:59:39 EDT Re: Quebeckers hit Bell Canada with class action http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20565305 Candoo3 :

We need a PLO party for us Ontarian... Not to be confused with that other organization. Hopefully, also not outsourced to there either. ;)

I have the impression that the Quebec court is more consumer friendly too.

Indeed.
My only question is why wouldn't most of that bill be in canadian law.

If I heard about some old mushlim guy cutting the clittorise off his daughter up here in canada. I'd be pissed.

and if it was like school, distractions are not allowed, those veils on the ladies always distract me, I'd prefer if they didn't follow such extreme religions still once in canada, but they can atleast put laws in place preventing the burtal parts of these religions.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20564818 Fri, 30 May 2008 16:18:00 EDT Re: Quebeckers hit Bell Canada with class action http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20564762 fiestaware :

They are asking punitive damages in the following:
- 80% of subscription costs
- $600.00 in false representation damages concerning the speed advertised.
- $1500.00 in damages for invasion of privacy!

That's not a bad paycheck if you ask me! $2100 plus 80% of what you were paying Bell... now the thing is that it's not for "wholesale" customers... it's for their own customers...
One of my buddies in Gatineau might just do that... hehe and he's not throttled yet, but they still lie about the advertised speeds and billing and what not... so he can't lose joining in on this.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20564163 Fri, 30 May 2008 14:26:39 EDT Re: Quebeckers hit Bell Canada with class action http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20564105 accusync : and only in french as usual.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20564105 Fri, 30 May 2008 14:17:19 EDT Re: Quebeckers hit Bell Canada with class action http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20564051 Gnaraktol : right here:
