| [Total Internet] CBC Olympic streams not accessible
Hello all.
So on Saturday, the CBC olympic live streams stopped working from my Sympatico highspeed account. I can click on the stream, the ad plays, and then -- nothing. I am wondering if my connection is being routed outside Canada, thus falling afoul of the CBC's obligation to stream only to Canadian connections. Anyone else have the same problem?
More to the point, does anyone know a good proxy server that will keep my connection canadian so I can see the streams? |

| If there are no more connections available from the streaming server then what you experienced is normal.
You should contact CBC.ca and report the issue.

| I have called the CBC a bunch of times -- they tell me it's not a server stream availability issue. I can connect through my corporate VPN (can't watch for too long though, because IT gets antsy about the bandwidth use) -- just not through Bell at home.
Chatted with Bell's tech people online -- singularly unhelpful, the thrust of his "support" was that I wasn't understanding the problem, but whatever the problem was, it was nothing to do with my Bell connection. |

Maybe if Bell would finally peer with ToriX this wouldn't be such a big issue. They're too good for ToriX it seems. The CBC and Akamai all have direct peering with ToriX. All this extra bandwidth going out of Bell's Tier1 for nothing. |

Canada | Bell setup direct peering with the CBC before the Olympics began. |
