Sepiraph writes “In a [0]letter sent to the Canadian Association of
Internet Providers and Bell Canada on May 15, the Canadian
Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) have [1]ordered
Bell Canada to provide tangible evidence that its broadband networks are
congested to justify the company’s Internet traffic-shaping policies.
This is a response after Bell planned to tackle the issue of traffic
shaping, also called throttling, on the company’s broadband networks. It
would be interesting to see Bell’s response, as well as to see some
real-world actual numbers and compare them to a [2]previous study.”
