Re: Corporate greed is reaching new levels....
said by fatmanskinny  :"Now we will not only cap our direct customers, we will cap what our competition may offer." Canada must be the testing ground for what is going to happen in the USA and other places. The walls are closing in and caps may begin to bleed over into business connectivity such as T1 / T3/ OCX lines. Actually throttling already is happening in the USA. The FCC just straightened that shit out though as far as I can tell. They are going to punish comcast for their crap. The other telcos are also going to be cleaning up real quick. |

In fact I have no problem at all with QoS-type limiting during peak demand if it's really needed.

So even those people downloading youtube is shut down to 30kb/s
Wholesellers arent throttled at all because they are sold bandwidth.
When bell no longer has anyone using their service because of their shitty product... they'd be screwed. |

Youtube isn't a download service but rather a real time streaming video service.
Bells wholesalers are throttled. Just read it in the teksaavy forum as well as Acanacs.
Get a clue

Get a clue You see when you go ONLINE everything you do is DOWNLOADED. That is to say... you have to use bandwidth to download the videos and webpages.
So you are apparently quite ignorant of how the basics of the internet work.
Furthermore I was saying that the wholesellers shouldnt be throttled because bell is selling them bandwidth.
I'm sorry you're so ignorant that you dont understand the basics of how internet works and apparently dont even understand basic english. I notice you are in quebec so I guess that must be why.
So really it is you who needs to get a clue. |

| Don't try your little semantic manipulations on me, mister. It won't work. We as humans, regardless of the language, when communicating, whether by peaking or writing, have to use a certain convention the usage of words, otherwise, up will end-up being down, east will be west. You want to get technical with me? How's this:
When "the rest of the world" says "download" it means to not only have the more bits and bytes in the downstream than upstream (yes, while "downloading", we are also always "uploading"), it is usually to determine if there will be an archival save of the said data on some form of physical media for retrieval in the future (hard drives, cd, dvd etc).
Furthermore "when you go online" is also misused. Most people that watch youtube are "always online" as their network connection is in one way or another, seldom ever severed. But you seem to equate going online to firing up your web browser.
Again, this is not clear and further demonstrates your poor usage of the english language, that according to you, I should have a lesser handle of, because of where I write from. What's your excuse? (rhetorical, please don't answer)
Your comment in that instance is akin to a redneck's level and borders on racism (based on geography) of all things. And this is the 21st century (if you hadn't noticed), there is no more room for that kind of intolerance.
So the usage of the word download, was erroneous without further clarification on your part and you know it, you're just being a PITA.
You have also completely sidestepped the throttling issue, I have noticed.
