Re: Ottowa? Like Woshington?
Independent ISPs "rent" a DSL line from Bell. This line connects the customer to Bell's COs which, provides the customer with the DSL sync.
Customers, then, using PPPoE, connects to the ISP's network.
Bell is throttling all the connections connected to the CO. Before a data packet is sent or received, to and from the ISP, the packet is inspected and "managed". Bell is arguing that they're running out of bandwidth, but I do not see how their arguments are holding up.
Rogers currently throttles ALL encrypted traffic (even HTTPS).

The problem is they REALLY want to put a value on data transfers like long distance calls. They would be really happy if they could charge XXX Amount for kB, MB, GB, etc... | |
