I’m surprised this letter took so long to get out. Essentially, Mr. Prentice thinks that the CRTC will deal with it, and complaints ought to be directed to the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services or the CRTC itself. There’s no mention of either of the net neutrality bills. The letter follows: Thank you for [...]
Earlier today I decided to run an experiment to see whether or not I was throttled. Long story short, I am.

The interview with Nora Young of Spark went over general issues of net neutrality, which is why my questions weren’t asked. My questions [...]
I just discovered that TekSavvy has posted mrtg graphs of traffic before and after throttling. I notice that proportions between types of traffic are about the same, except P2P is a little bit smaller than before. What’s staggering is although proportions wind up being the same, overall traffic is down from 160 megabit to 40 [...]
I just realized that neutrality.ca is still updating, but it’s in chronological rather than reverse chronological order. Look at the bottom for new posts. The plan of defense right now appears to be writing to your MP (you can look up the appropriate mailing list based on your postal code) and the Minister of Industry [...]
Update: Check out the damage that Bell (BCE, BCE.TO) has done. All traffic has fallen two third to three quarters. This includes UDP, which BitTorrent does not use for its payload. Why did its traffic go down then? Kudos to TekSavvy for being so transparent. They aren’t saving any money on this either, they were [...]
