Re: Ouch its always interesting how the principals(and/or management) of an ADSL company spin it,
but the fact of the matter, in Canada, most ADSL companies buy what is in essence, white label adsl and provide bits and pieces of their own service, such as servers, support, and transit here and there.
any company in canada can choose to colocate adsl equipment in a Bell Canada office, and then pay for transit to their own offices, and not be subject to any throttling. But if they choose to only buy bits and pieces of what is in essence wholesaled white label ADSL, obviously they are subject to any throttling policies.
most companies choose not to colocate their own adsl equipment because it just costs too much.
for the simple people out there, a company can choose to:
a) pay for transit from a central point at bell to their office. which most companies do, which is cheaper, but then it means they are subject to throttling.
or
b) put adsl dslams(modems) into each bell central office in a city in toronto. and then pay for transit from each central office to their own office. this costs a ton of money, but then they aren't subject to any policies. | |

It's always funny how some don't like to hear anything other then their own thoughts!
This is false. There's absolutely no way to avoid Bell by collocating right now. Even if you place equipment in their Central Office, you still have to go through them for every single repeater as equipment, other than what Bell put in there, isn't doable.
Bell has strategically placed themselves in a position to not be circumvented. This is the beauty of a monopolistic environment. Wouldn't you like playing cards with someone, knowing they have a second deck they can chose from to "absolutely" ensure they win every time?
PS - we've already covered this in the past you and I... Find it funny that it didn't stick the first time.
