FunkyBeats Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 A good explaination of the structure and relationship between Bell and the independant ISP's it's obligated to serve. This further clarifies the illegality of its actions. ADSL_intro.pdf Check it!FunkyBeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagochips Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm pretty sure Bell just won their case in court, FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagochips Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) In this Decision, the Commission denies the interim relief requested by the Canadian Association of Internet Providers (CAIP). In regard to the process associated with the disposition of CAIP's application on a final basis, the Commission has set out the process in a letter to the parties to be issued on 15 May 2008.http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2008/dt2008-39.htm Edited May 30, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyBeats Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Interim relief is just that. The real court case is as follows: CRTC's letter to bell and CAIP. Submissions will be complete by June 26th, 2008 and the CRTC expects to make a ruling within 90 days of that time.FunkyBeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagochips Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Cool. Let's hope Bell loses. I don't really download much any more, but that's partly due to Rogers killing my connection speeds on the torrents. If they lose I'll probably switch providers and then maybe I'll get the service for which I'm paying, but not currently receiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 The last paragraph in that summary is a really good analogy as to what this is all about:What Bell Canada is doing is tantamount to listening to telephone conversations for specific words, and sending a "BEEP" to disrupt a conversation whenever such a word is detected, forcing the person to repeat the sentence. The precedent, if allowed to be set, is very serious and would undermine the concept of a trustable common carrier in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyBeats Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Amen. You should switch anyways, Teksavvy have great customer service and can provide ways to defeat the throttle (as of today, that is). The best way to affect change as a consumer is to spend your money with companies that share your views on net neutrality.FunkyBeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yup, I want to change over in the biggest way (even though I'm not a Bell ISP customer) to Teksavvy. Problem is with the Bell lines to my house. They can't promise the higher speeds as of yet. Bell just doesn't want to keep all their lines up to date technology wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
