In response to consumer complaints posted in the company's official forum, Canadian ISP Bell Sympatico has admitted that it uses bandwidth throttling technologies to impose limitations on peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing during peak hours. This revelation is further evidence that net neutrality—the principle of equal treatment for all traffic through a network—is eroding. "[W]e are now using a Internet Traffic Management to restrict accounts that are using a large portion of bandwidth during peak hours," a Sympatico forum administrator wrote in response to a user complaint. The forum administrator also provides a list of affected applications, which includes BitTorrent, Gnutella, Limewire, Kazaa, and other widely-used P2P applications. Readers of Broadband Reports had been suspicious for some time that the ISP was throttling traffic.

True.

However Bell is continually getting sneakier and sneakier.

I found out that my account has a cap of 60GB/month, when the contract clearly stipulates that it's unlimited.

They won't enforce unless you're going over 250GB on a consistent basis however, but it's still a shady practice.

What ever happened to loyal and trustworthy companies not looking to screw over their own customers

no such thing as unlimited nemore. I think bell now puts 60gb in their eula or whatnot

i got disconnected from cogeco for going at 100GB over 60GB quota

He has a program which lets you connect to multiple connects at once. I forget what its called.

So essentially, you can connect to like 10 wireless unencryted connections at once, and he lives in a Condo by Skydome so its easy to connect to dozens at once...
