As for port 80...technically web servers are not allowed although Bell adopts a "don't ask/don't tell" policy.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20764864 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:42:34 EDT Re: Hopefully they won't block VPN access now http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20763925 anon : You'd love rogers cable internet up in Canada.

... When I pay for Internet access, I expect all outgoing/incoming ports (except incoming on port 80 and outgoing on port 25) to be wide open with no throttling.
I really hate to see comments like this. I don't really find it acceptable that any ports are blocked. People shouldn't be OK with this.

They should charge extra for certain ports, VPN included. This in addition to overage charges on low monthly caps sounds like a winning strategy to not spend money on infrastructure and please the customer base.
I hope you're being sarcastic. That in no way would "please the customer base."

Wouldn't that screw the legit users of VPN (businesses, etc.)?
Since when did that little detail bother Sympatico/ Bell?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759520 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:32:59 EDT Re: Hopefully they won't block VPN access now http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759511 Anomaly95 : Wouldn't that screw the legit users of VPN (businesses, etc.)?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759511 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:31:19 EDT Hopefully they won't block VPN access now http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20759406 DaSneaky1D : Bell Canada has already wielded a big sword against P2P on wholesale providers' access. Who's to say they won't do the same for VPN access?
