Re: Investigating countermeasures

Sadly, there is likely no such solution. The only short-term solution is a legal injunction, and that's for the ISPs to look into. They're all meeting in Toronto today, or so we think. Rocky announced that he was going to Toronto to meet with people today. Bell is in Montreal, so the only logical thing would be for the leaders of the various independent ISPs to be having a meeting.

Acanac has already said that group legal action is the likely recourse, as DSLR reported.

So, aside from that, the possible solutions will be client-side. The ideal solution is a PPTP VPN. Simple, because it will take over all internet connectivity on your machine, and is supported by Windows without any third party software. We'll just have to wait until we're throttled and can investigate issues.

Funny, being annoyed that I'm NOT throttled...

Bell may have far more than a token presence in Montréal, but a lot more gets done out of Trwanna than quebecers are led to believe.

And yes, Rocky drove to Toronto yesterday night for meetings with others ISPs today.

EBox has already signaled he would work with Rocky. What is not sure is whether large ISPs like AEI/Cybersurf etc will join in.
