P2P throttling leading to net neutrality showdown in Canada
arstechnica.com — Wireless Nomad has now stepped into the network neutrality debate. The company has filed papers with the CRTC asking that Bell Canada, which has begun using deep packet inspection to throttle all peer-to-peer traffic between 4:30pm and 2am, be forced to stop its practice.

they also already offer higher speed service for a higher price - $92 / month...- geoken, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2This isn't about Bell users being throttled. It's about a company who buys bulk service from Bell (then re-sells it) having their customers bandwidth throttled.

Stop fscking with Teksavvy.
Thanks,
The Internet - N00bicals4543, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3lets face it, the CRTC does nothing to allow foreign competition here and we get an oligopoly in return. if the CRTC would open the market up this wouldn't be a problem, because lets face it, what homegrown startup telecom can afford to compete with Rogers and Bell, it costs billions to lay independent infrastructure (which is what you need to stop companies like Bell dictating what companies like Teksavvy do).
