Re: TekSavvy wants no throttling of anyone

said by fAcEtIOUs:

The only problem with TekSavvy's filing is that the result would be that Bell couldn't even throttle its own customers.

So what TekSavvy is fighting for is not that its customers be treated equally with Bell's customers. He wants either a network re-architecture or no throttling of anyone. Sounds very democratic, but not very practical when networks are being flooded by video traffic.

And the reason the throttling is done at the local level is not to cause TekSavvy some competitive disadvantage, but because that is where the bottlenecks are.
Bell is throtling the DSL connection between the user and the ISP. If Bell wanted to throttle their own user's internet connections they can certainly do that on the internet (ISP) side of things.

DSL customer <----> Central Office <---THROTTLED---> ISP <----->Internet
