Net Neutrality Hits Home Hard
It looks like the great overlords at Bell have decided to start Über-throttling internet traffic on the lines that they resell to smaller ISPs all across Canada.
As an Internet user who specifically chooses to go with a smaller ISP to avoid throttling activities, I find this kind of behaviour on the part of Bell to be completely egregious and quite irksome.
Oh course, with all issues in the business world, things may not be quite as they seem. If the comments section for the article above is to be believed, it seems that what Bell is really attempting to do is protect it's own proprietary ADSL2 service, the rollout of which conspicuously coincides with their decision to start throttling traffic on re-sold lines.
Only time will tell what will happen with the entire Net Neutrality issue. With more and more data getting slung around the 'net for the purpose of providing entertainment content, such as high definition movies, we are unlikely to hear the end of this debate for some time to come!
