Re: Technical differences? Thanks I appreciate the mention devnuller. Unfortunate, that in the other news item, people were apparently unwilling to consider my arguments. I must state right off the bat that throttling internet connections, be they Bell or Teksavvy customers, is NOT the solution. The only workable solution in my mind is to limit user CONNECTIONS, to reasonable levels, say no more than 40 at one time.
Limiting connections will reduce network loads considerably. As for the issue of DPI boxes, I don't wish to sound arrogant, but come on, Google monitors and stores EVERY bit of data you fling their way, and I don't hear you screaming bloody murder. Or what about Phorm? Except for a select group of DSL report members, it seems you have largely ignored that issue as well.
The business like tactics Bell has used are just that, BUSINESS tactics. As with all corporations, money is ALWAYS the bottom line issue, and as such a company will and does do everything in its power to garnish the largest profits it can.
As for you Harper nay-sayers, may I ask : What does Harper have to do with any of this? We are talking about the actions of a company formed and ruled by laws established YEARS before Harper was PM. The behavior of the CRTC is simply corrupt politics. You don't need to be a Conservative to be a corrupt politician (*cough* Federal sponsorship scandal anyone? *cough*). In the grand scope of Federal government, the issues of Bell vs Teksavvy are both petty and insignificant. With looming economic issues on the horizon, do you really expect the government to seriously deal with these issues? Harper or not, 'net neutrality is and for the foreseeable future on the back bench.
One last word. If you TRULY do not like the actions of your government, why in blazes are you complaining about it here? It is your responsibility, both to yourself and your country to take your thoughts and objections to your government. I'm getting mighty tired of this behind the back complaining, yet when you have the opportunity to have your say, you clam up and conform to the masses.
Put up or shut up as they say
Regards, and best wishes all,
