| I'd hardly call it innovative
Throttling 'everyone' during peak hours has little to do with being innovative.
Attempting to allow the highest amount of throughput at the least expense and inconvenience to uses would be something more innovative.
How about 2 tiers...
Throttled (and cheap) tiers
and
Unthrottled and more expensive tiers
Wait...we can make more money by raising prices and throttling everyone and saving on bandwidth costs.

Of course Cisco would support this. They stand to make millions selling thier equipment to Bell (or anyone) to use for "traffic managment."
So why would they NOT support it? |

Gurnee, IL | Exactly. Traffic shaping = more cisco sales = more people paying for CCNA courses = more money for cisco. |

Re: I'd hardly call it innovative
that is pretty much what im thinking, cisco sells the hardware to allow this so why not promote it.
