		<description><![CDATA[I can say how this is an issue with bell. What is worse that I have not really torrented at all. I torrernt the odd DRM crack when a legit game I bought does not work do to the copy protection but even then we are talking a small file.  
 
I was offered this xbox ellite deal which against my better judgment I went for. I asked them all the particulars and I was actually lied too. I asked about a cap t hey told me that they don&#039;t cap for that bundle. They also told me the 360 ellite was supposed to be repaired from them.  
 
Trying to get the console fixxed they sent me this terms of service thing that mentions they don&#039;t service the console and then I found out that the little buggers capped me. I even had a chat transcript showing how over live chat they told me there was no cap they held me to there stupid contract even though I was downright lied too. 
 
Then the other day even though I never changed surfing habits seen a overage charge for 40 frigging dollars when there is no way I even used 60GB. If I went over it shows how lame and unreasonable there cap is. 
 
They also black listed me one month saying I had P2P traffic when I have a legit game that uses P2P for online it has nothing to do with downloading music for free. But they still called me a dirty filthy pirate just the same. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fuck bell. 
 
Their throttling has already convinced me to move forever to a different ISP when I&#039;m done university. 
 
Bell -&gt; keep this up, and you&#039;ll REALLY push away our generation.  Our payed bandwidth is OUR turf.  If you can&#039;t provide it, YOU are shit. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a user of a third party ISP (radioactif.com) and my speed is limited at 30k/s every day (approx. between 18h and 1h). But at least I have no transfer limit.

Radioactif also provides unlimited cable internet but it&#039;s twice as expensive (the same-priced package of the cable company has a 100GB limit). They told me that Videotron does not throttle bittorrent yet. 

I might switch soon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@steelcity...I am in the exact situation as you are. I also feel the same way about Rogers! One thing that no one has mentioned is that even though Bell is selling movies on line, you can only watch them in Bell&#039;s own proprietary player. You can not watch them in the viewer of your choice nor can you burn them to watch them on your stand alone player. Like most people I have a day job, and as such I no longer have access to the &#039;high speed Internet&#039; that I am paying Sympatico for, as my speed is being throttled during the evening. I am also one of the few remaining &#039;rogues&#039; with unlimited bandwidth and if I switch to another provider I will lose this benefit. Hopefully the powers that be will step in and declare Bell&#039;s current throttling practices both unethical and illegal. Then it will open the way for a class action suit against them for, at the very least, breach of contract. I am not receiving the service I am paying for and it&#039;s time something is done about it. 

It&#039;s amazing that when Microsoft tries to add features to their O/S, everyone and their cousin gets in line to sue them. But when large ISPs cut services that we are paying for no one does a damn thing about it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Wouldn&#039;t this be deemed illegal if they are &quot;damaging&quot; a rival service?&quot;

This is typical of Bell. For Example, with Bell Mobility, you can&#039;t use your own MP3 for your ringtones, you have to buy theirs. Or you can&#039;t use Google Maps or other Maps program that support GPS location in you phone, the GPS is inaccessible by the program. Unless you pay 5$/month for theirs, when you could have for free something much better.

And right now we the customer don&#039;t have any alternative for an ISP. The best there was were 3rd party ISP, like tekksavy. But right now they aren&#039;t worth it. And Cable?? They are even worse than Bell (WOW 20Gb per month download, yes your the fastest but also more expensive).

Well we Canadian will just go back to dial-up instead, or go back to the Dark Age instead. Maybe a new Smoke Signal IP Protocol will do the trick?

Just a trick, Bell doesn&#039;t throttle Usenet traffic!!! Yet...]]></description>
