Re:You are soooo wrong. (Score 1)

It would be nice if that were true - but it's not. I've been in discussions with a VP of Product Development out of Ottawa. They are throttling - supposedly bit torrent encrypted as well as non-encrypted connections. They are using the same vendor as Rogers for this purpose and had been assured that it would not effect any other encrypted connections out side of Bit Torrents - they were wrong. The system will start to throttle encrypted connections based upon network status. This throttling effects Torrents but also throttles VPN, RDP, IMAP and Secure FTP back to 30 kbps during times of heavy network utilization. It would be nice if the throttling occured between specific times, but that would defeat the purpose. But aside from all that, I signed up for always fast all the time - not when they deem. And targeting torrents specifically, considering they are used for more than just illeagal downloads is unethical. The only reaso there is an issue is Bell is bragging about 7mbps download rates for everyone on an infrastructure that can't handle the bandwidth. And to throttle before it gets to the wholesaler borders on criminal.
