So how does one defeat the Bell DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) a lot of talk no real explanation.
you can’t just change the TCP port uTorrent uses (It doesn’t work) how would I use IPSec to Encapsulate my packets? Wouldn’t I have to have a VPN with Bell?
Anyone wanna break this down to plain english – maybe provide how to with uTorrent (most prolific)

If you’re on TekSavvy or any other isp that supports MLPPP (Multilink PPP), this will bypass the throttle. I’ve been using MLPPP over a month to bond my 2 DSL lines together to make 1 faster internet connection, and it also has the added side-effect that the DPI boxes don’t “see” it due to the different PPP packet encapsulation, thus why it bypasses.

Time to switch up the ports… you think other ISP’s use the same kind of technique?

its at the bottom of page 3/5 of the PDF Document which bell submitted

*The standard VPN TCP port is 1723/TCP, with IPSec key exchange protocol using UDP port 500/UDP, and TCP port 50
and 51 for IPSec Encapsulating Security Protocol, and IPSec Authentication Header traffic respectively.

And which port is that? 1194, 1723 and 5000 seem to be candidates according to:

money spent on throttling software = waste of time
