Re: Acanac Enforces Technical ITMP Does it follow Crtc Rules?

Very little information? Just go to »acanac.com/DSL.html

Everything is there. It's so simple that it only requires one line in the table. It's not hidden or anything. It's just below the "speed" line.

They are supposedly differing hours on weekends and Also That is not clearly nor Prominent in its display As well its 2 of the 5 Criteria Required by the Comission, maybe 3 if your generous. Nor do they Call it an itmp Which it is. so it leaves it open to the customer to figure a great deal out.

Well I agree that if they throttle during extended hours in the week end this is not fair since it's not written on the web site.

However so far they do not.

I also think they answer all 5 criteria. Which 3 do you think they do not answer?

Because unlike Rogers and Bell they do not throttle independant ISPs using their service. That was the main reason for the CRTC to investigate throttling practices. And they are not part of an oligopoly, so they are easy to avoid.

I don't get it. What are you complaining about? There is a dozen or so IISPs out there offering the same services at about the same prices.

Acanac isn't for everyone but at least they offer an alternative choice and some people like it.

o whether or not technical ITMPs are being used and, if so, what effect they have on the ISP’s retail Internet services;

They show the speed reduction and we can make the Connection But they do not say it very clearly that They are enforcing a technical ITMP

what type of Internet traffic is subject to management – for example, upstream peer-to-peer file sharing applications; and

o how the ITMP will affect a user’s Internet experience, including the specific effect on speeds; and

i understand they Effect all traffic and you Understand it but They do not offically State it anywhere, Also the How it will affect a users experience is lacking In its entirety.

And a Key point
and in customer contracts and terms of service:

When signing up in the Terms of Service On there webpage there is No mention of the ITMp or any of the 5 criteria that must be satisfied In the Terms of service or user agreements, Whatsoever.

The ruling may have been brought about BY bell and its actions but it applys to all ISPS who are governed by the Crtc which Includes acanac.

63. mean that if Bell choose to throttle Acanac, Acanac has to tell its customers.

Acanac is the secondary ISP here.

In this case acanac is acting as the primary ISP and is the one enforcing the ITMP, This is not a pass thru from bell.

I could not find that Distinction thanks BT P:)
heck even Now i am not seeing it in the regulatory documents.

Applicability of framework to secondary ISPs offering retail Internet services

49.
The Commission notes that secondary ISPs have the ability to apply ITMPs to their retail Internet services, and that this practice may have many of the same adverse effects as that employed by primary ISPs. As such, the Commission considers that secondary ISPs should be subject to the same framework that applies to retail services offered by primary ISPs.

Well i did find this line which Kinda makes it Specific. for that it applys

OK maybe they should do a copy and past from their DSL.html to their User-Agreement.html but that's it.
