Is Bell Canada's office in Bizarro land or something? That is truly laughable.

I feel sorry for my Northern Brethren..

Tell me about it. My youngest sister and her family live outside of Toronto and the stuff they have to put up with in the high-tech world. Three-year cellular contracts with stiff caps and ISP's that throttle and produce ever tighter caps.

Throttling only aid innovation if you're a hacker... and can find ways around it.

Bell Canada's 'Innovation' is similar to someone fixing a bicycle tire with a glue gun and duct tape. Sure ... its innovative, it works, and ITS CHEAP.
Is it proper... not really
Will it work in a pinch .. sure
Is it safe ... who knows - the tire isn't balanced and the wheel doesn't ride smooth.
Do we care ... not really - as we're saving money at someone else's expense.
