Bell Canada Throttles Wholesalers Without Notice

knorthern knight writes "The Canadian family-run ISP Teksavvy (which is popular among Canadian P2P users precisely because it does not throttle P2P) has started noticing that Bell Canada is throttling traffic before it reaches wholesale partners. According to Teksavvy CEO Rocky Gaudrault, Bell has implemented 'load balancing' to 'manage bandwidth demand' during peak congestion times — but apparently didn't feel the need to inform partner ISPs or customers. The result is a bevy of annoyed customers and carriers across the great white north."

Nothing of interest ever happens in Austria. Ha! I'll bet you never saw the Sydney Opera House or took the bridge to New Zealand!

Besides. Paul Hogan is from Austria. Paul Hogan RULZ!

And their beer is the best. I *love* Heineken.

U R A Tard.
