The TekSavvy forum on dslreports.com was born to keep people informed about the rally on Parliament Hill slated for May 27, and it’s been the center piece for the voices of Canadian ISP customers as the debate rages in in the face of Rogers’ web-injections (and I thought only hackers interfered with you packets and performed web-injections 
) and Bell’s total monopolization of what applications internet users on its own service and that on 3rd party ISP’s can use without restrictions and interference.
Bell was kind enough to inform third-party ISPs and their customers (only after the fact) that, with their forced application throttling, the “majority of your end users will experience an increased level of satisfaction”.
The experience level has reached such a high satisfaction level that it’s led to hundreds of letters in support of the Canadian Association of Internet Providers (CAIP) being filed with the CRTC, which “presented a variety of arguments, not the least of which is Net Neutrality, and asked that the Commission order Bell Canada to cease and desist their current traffic shaping practices”.
In fact this “increased level of satisfaction” Bell Canada forced on its clients, including its wholesaler ISPs, has now persuaded hundreds of thousands of “satisfied” people to rally in support of Canadian Net Neutrality.
To show their support, they’ll be demonstrating on Parliament Hill on May 27!
The official Net Neutrality Parliament Hill Rally website sports such names as NDP digital culture spokesman Charlie Angus, CIPPIC, Campaign for Democratic Media, National Union of Public and General Employees, National Capital Freenet, and Mauril Béllanger, Liberal MP.
I wonder if the organizers will get the Quebec Consumers Union to attend this event?
May 27 —- be there or be throttled’.

I don’t have a ceiling fan. Don’t want my kids spinning around on it. Sounds like yours wasn’t very strong OG
