Bell honestly has a valid business case for doing this. I work for telus and I know how much work it is just to get traffic to the edge services routers, never mind to the distribution or core national routers (where techsavvy has their connections). The fact that the CRTC forces LECs to open their network for so little cost is a bunch of crap. If techsavvy doesn't like the throttling, they can put edge services routers in every CO and request their own vlans on the traffic concentrators instead of wasting bell's bandwidth into the core.
Edit: just a side note: a router with a 200Gbps forwarding plane costs around the same amount as a house. A 2+ dlsam costs more than a new car. The list only goes on from there |

2 edits | reply to playboy2000 re: playboy2000 So what? All of Bell has been paid for by taxes and users a 1,000 and more times over. It's the shareholders raking in the cash and pocketing it. Why not cut back on them and the management salaries instead?  |
