Re: Generic Letter to Competition Bureau re: Bell throttling ISP

While the letter is pretty strong, correcting the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors makes it more professional and more likely to make an impact. Not to be too critical or anything, but here's a small rewrite.


To whom it may concern,

Bell Canada has recently taken it upon themselves to unilaterally begin the practice of controlling traffic on the services it wholesales to independent Internet Service Providers.

This practice is akin to forcing their own policies on independent service providers relating to internet usage by limiting the type of traffic and quantity of traffic they allow to reach these internet bandwidth wholesalers.

By imposing their policies and willfully controlling the use of the internet bandwidth they sell to resellers, they are exercising anti-competitive practices and meddling into the management of third party providers; in turn inhibiting the wholesaler's ability to manage based on their own business policy preferences.

Bell Canada has overstepped its authority and is flexing their muscle (infrastructure control) to impose their will on independent competitors.

I am a customer of an independent ISP and have purchased bandwidth directly from them. My provider is at the mercy of this underhanded tactic being employed by Bell Canada.

To obtain an overview of this situation, please review the posts at dslreports.com and specifically at http: //www.dslreports.com/shownews/Bell-Canada-Throttles-Wholesalers-Doesnt-Bother-To-Tell-Them-92915

I implore you to quell this unfair practice by contacting Bell Canada and instructing them to cease and desist immediately.
