Bit Torrent connections. If you establish anything with Bit Torrent, your entire
connection is dramatically slowed. And they had completely blocked MTS webmail.
Conversely MTS had blocked Shaw webmail. Both have removed that block, but this
demonstrates someone has to be vigilant. The article also describes a labour
dispute with Bell Canada, where they completely blocked any web information they
could find supporting the labour side of that dispute. All the big carriers hate
small carrier competition, they will do everything they can to sabotage
performance of these small carriers. They want usage based billing, despite the
fact they already charge more for faster connections. Internet connections are
paid for to be used, so faster connections are supposed to download more
content, customers are already paying for it. Charging extra for usage is double
billing. But Bell wants to charge a premium for Netflix, or any competitor for
their paid content service. Reducing performance or charging extra for
competitors is anti-competitive business practice. All the major carriers are
engaging in them. We need to be vigilant, and we need clear laws that make that
sort of thing illegal.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
