Dear Customers,
In March 2008 Bell started throttling its Wholesale Customers (TekSavvy
among a group of many) without notice. We attempted to have the CRTC force
Bell to stop as it removed our ability to do business and give Market
choice. The throttling was done in the name of congestion, even if Bell, at
the same time launched higher speeds (which they did not share with their
wholesalers) and also dabbled with launching IPTV, which consumes even more
capacity.
The CRTC sided with Bell in November 2008 but launched a Public Hearing to
discuss Network Management Practices, clearly showing they made a decision
on throttling without having all the details in hand to do so. As a result
we launched a request to reverse their decision from November (The Review &
Vary) in May 2009.
The only way we are going to make a difference at this point is to get full
public support to stop companies like Bell from bullying the market and the
regulators! The Telecom and Cableco Monopolies control 96% of our
marketplace, so if we don't stand up and voice our concerns, this will
become a two party dance where choices and services are going to be
completely removed and rates raised to unreasonable levels!
Here are the details on how to submit your comments:
1) Go to:
http://support.crtc.gc.ca/crtcsubmissionmu/forms/Telecom.aspx?lang=e
2) Select "Part VII / PN " from the drop down list and then click "Next"
3) In box entitled "Subject" line, insert "CRTC File #:
8662-P8-200907727"
4) In the box entitled "Description / Comments / Questions", insert any
comments that you may have on the review and vary application.
5) If you would like to attach a document, select "yes" and follow the
instructions for attaching a file.
As indicated in the Title, I believe the deadline is June 22nd, so don't
wait to long
PS - R&V details here:
