I'll look into Acanac. As for full BT encryption, in my experience it makes things worse. They still traffic shape, but they do it in some kind of pattern recognition mode, which seems to be far more zealous.
This is most certainly "anti-net-neutrality". Bell is not just shaping those who use a lot of bandwidth, but shaping specifically bittorrent and streamed flash video. It's true that they started doing it to their own customers first, but when their own customers started leaving them for services that don't shape, they extended the practice to all the third parties.
This way, they can screw their customers, and take away anyone else's ability to provide a superior service.
I, in fact, am a perfect example. I moved from Bell to Teksavvy, specifically to get away from traffic shaping. I am now officially screwed though, since there is no possible way for me to get an internet service that does not shape bittorrent traffic. Thanks CRTC!
I'm from Canada (though the my comment is really about Toronto). For the record, we're worse off when it comes to cell phones (there is no such thing as unlimited data in Canada), however I think Bell (who is the DSL half of our very own duopoly) have started to push the cable carrier, getting at least a little competition going. In Toronto we have fiber.:) Albeit only at 7Mb/s, though they claim it'll climb to 16 soon. Oh, and we have WiMAX, too.

I wish you could get a funny score higher then 5...

Yes they do. If you go to maps.google.de you'll see that it works fine. It's the &output=html that is giving you the flat page.
There aren't any $50,000 houses in Toronto, trust me. Property values are perhaps lower then, say, Calgary, but who's aren't?
