Actually they do. It was found in a document that was submitted to the CRTC. If you search you'll find a thread.

It's just not an all or nothing throttle like Bell, seems they just implement it in areas as needed.


Bitwise

Exseven was part of that thread and many others on the same topic. He and his fellow employees have been having fun at this forums expense for YEARS. For some reason, the Cogeco VIP crew seems to think it's funny to play word games with customers.

As per Krispy, they do not throttle. Throttle, in that last statement, defined as being intentional RST packets forged and other session breaking activities.

Cogeco "rate shapes" all P2P applications their DPI hardware thinks it is capable of identifying...but they don't call it throttling. Historically, incompetent administrators have snared SSH, VPN, and other encrypted/partially encrypted packets with poorly constructed filters.

The WOW protocol partially encrypts packets.
