My PN connection is virtually unusable now since throttling started, they are targeting any encrypted traffic as well as P2P, since all VPN connections are encrypted , they have all become virtually useless. We’re going to fight this, Bell is not getting away with this.

I use a 3rd party DSL line to work from home and I keep reading that VPN and Skype traffic will also be targeted by this policy of Bell. This would make it almost impossible to telecommute anymore. Does anyone know if this is true? Does anyone know the technical details of Bell's plan? So, Bell are not just threatening P2P down loaders, they are threatening my livelihood and will force folks like me back on the highway.

The companies are ADVERTINSING HIGH BANDWIDTH, are setting monthly limits on downloads, and no matter if you are a downloader or a web surfer, we are paying for the same contract! If Bell and Rogers can't keep up with their advertised bandwidths they should fix thier networks. Also, look at who is telling us that downloaders are affecting web surfing, not web surfers, but Bell... Seems most are forgetting that the “Hogs” are paying for the service.

Clearly Bell should give a vast proportional refund now to all it's customers for their unacceptable reduction of their internet services for a start and Bell rightfully should be fined heaveily by the Courts for their unacceptable past false, misleading advertising of unlimted downloads too. and now the revelation that Bell has quietly revamped its network to allow for throttling at the residential and wholesale level, there is the prospect of a perfect storm of events that may crystallize the issue for consumers, businesses, politicians, and regulators….
