lordshipmayhemCBC has plenty of reason to be unhappy at Bell Sympatico right now. So do you.
Here's why. They're throttling high-speed downloads of bittorrents, including CBC's own completely free and legal bittorrent of its show, "Canada's Next Great Prime Minister". They're choking off independent ISP's who thought they'd paid for unlimited access. If you're on Teksavvy, you have reason to complain big time.
By the middle of April full throttling will be in place, they boast (as if this were a GOOD thing). Right now, it seems to be more of a prime-time thing.
By the bye, Rogers has been doing this for quite a while now, too.
And that's why I hate oligopolies as much as I hate monopolies.
