Why is Bell Canada doing this to their customers ?
Bell Canada is in some hot water over arbitrarily , and without notification , started using throttling and traffic shaping to limit the congestion on the internets that they perceived . This congestion , they contend , is caused by P2P file sharing . The catch is that since Bell has a virtual monopoly over the entire phone network in much of Canada , the restrictions they put in place were also arbitrarily placed on all DSL subscribers connected to the Bell network , even people subscribed to a DSL provider other than Bell . Naturally , people were not happy , including the CRTC . They have asked Bell , politely , for the data used to make this one - sided decision .
