Re: Wow.
said by RadioDoc  :Comcast must be wetting themselves over the prospects of doing this in their own network. Sad state of affairs up there, coming to a US ISP near you. Are the Canadian cable companies throttling P2P as well? Or is it just the DSL providers?

Videotron is about the only Cable company in Canada that does not throttle. They do have some of the lowest caps in the country however (20GB down and 2GB UP for their 5Mbps/850Kbps High Speed Service)

Edit: 10GB up, of course. The 20GB down is correct. If Videotron had increased both limits by 5-10GB, I would have signed up for one more year. |

Not true. SaskTel does not throttle, nor are there usage caps.

Compton doesn't throttle either, but their market reach is fairly limited (2 rural towns in Durham Region, Ontario) |

Cable companies and Throttling
Rogers, Shaw, and Cogico all have throttled their upstreams as of this date, March 26th/08. Even home users with HIGH SPEED EXTREME modems are limited to 5 to 10k/s total upstream on FTP and Torrent applications. I had to buy a service for $25.00 a month to get onto the NewsGroups as Rogers doesn't support them either.
