dropped bell today, they have shaped traffic for close to a year, broke my contract without telling me, throttled so called “unlimited” account and now they have introduced this new b.s. 60gb cap per month with traffic shaping. i am urging all canadians to drop the monopolistic companies and go with the small providers. bell and rogers are are anti-competitive, anti-consumer and anti-net neutrality conglomerates that need to be kicked in the teeth with our pocket books.

I would have quit Rogers LONG ago, but in Canada its basically an oligopoly/monopoly. Rogers has the best speed and charges big $$ for it, and is pathetic compared to other countries. Rogers owns the cable lines all around the city (Toronto). They can shaft their customers in every orifice and they would have little choice. Bell owns all the phone lines, and offers DSL with slightly slower speeds, with that whole painful dial up process (i think).

I am really hoping an American company like at&t, verison, or whoever, comes up here and lays some fiber lines and starts offering decent internet.

Because Canada is freaking village. Monopoly is everywhere. No alternative and no competition. They do what they want with the customers, because they know you have nowhere to go. Even gas stations. Before they were selling all different prices. Now—all the same.I hate them, and I hate that I can’t change anything!

I live in Windsor and in my area the only choices for me are Bell, Rogers, and stupid Cogeco (which is the worse of the three!) It seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel for a lowly bittorent user like myself. Something needs to be done. Any suggestions? There is no reason this should be happening. I pay for unlimited internet. I expect that product to be delivered.

It’s sad to say, but this is the norm in Australia. I’ve just been sent a letter from my ISP threatening to disconnect me because I consistently use more than my download allowance (which can only be described as 4 GB of fun!)

[quote comment="339687"]Seems like Rogers is run by some very intelligent managers. Removing Flat-Rates, blocking encrypted traffic, throttling bittorrent…

I mean c’mon are you serious. Who wants a provider like that? Do they still have any customers at all?[/quote]

Yes they do, cuz they are the major ISP unfortunately…
