Bell Canada's Unceasing Attacks

[YoungJoonKim]

Increasingly rising prices, falling alternative options, and developing privacy invasion..all brought to you by Bell Canada.

As you would know, I posted couple other topics tackling Bell Canada's unethical practices. Unfortunately, after worsening throttling (limiting your BitTorrent speed) situation and price spikes (cheaper rate for a fair service), Bell Canada is and will announce Usage Based Billing component for Third-Party ISP (Internet Service Providers) in exchange for new speeds...which most of Canadians CAN'T ENJOY ANYWAYS.

Now...you might ask what Usage Based Billing means...its really simple . Whomever use Third-Party ISPs as their Internet provider, they would be charged for whatever Third-Party ISPs offer their service for PLUS the bandwidth customers use. So where do all the bandwidth payments go to? Duh, Bell.

Not only will Bell stock price spike, the competition will plunge and consumers will face devastating consequence: No Choices. Bell is trying to undermine the health of Canadian ISP competition through compelete control of pricing as to their advantage and consequently, killing off competitors such as Teksavvy and Acanac Inc as customers would see no advantage in using Third Party ISPs since it would be more "costly".
What's GOOD news for customers? Nothing. No choices other their unreasonable Rogers and Bell the Bully..or in my area, Cogeco which is already under jurdiction of Rogers.

By the way...support Third Party ISPs and save money.

Seems to me that MS is some how involved in this. It reeks of Gates and his cronies.

With new router technology we'll see an explosion in open wireless WAN technology. At first they'll only connect neighbourhoods then cities but with a little trouble cities can connect to each other. It's anonymous, free and private.

Scratch, this has nothing to do with Microsoft. If you are looking for some companies to blame, blame Bell and Cicso, since they manufacture the devices which allow packet headers to be inspected and priority assigned preferred protocols (HTTP, POP3, SMTP etc)

Scott Wireless Mesh technology is great and all, but unfortunately, it limited to large metropolitan areas at this time. Also, another drawback with wireless WAN's is latency, wireless cannot even approach the low latency levels commonly found with an DSL or Cable connection.
