Breaking news: See More. Search this thread. The last few days the internet has been really slow for me, and been having trouble getting webpages to load have to click twice.
Now this might be normal for a short period of time, but I have never seen anything like this lasting a couple of days.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this an area wide problem? I'm interested in what your internet speed is. Run a speed test at dslreports.
Q 3. Contact kevin. I did a test at speedtest. Says my download speed is kbps and my upload speed is 57kbps. I dont think there should be so much variation? I am tired of having a company who is selling me a service them telling me how I should use it. Seems to me they must have a lot of politicians in their pokets. Tehy seemed more concerned with pleasing their shareholders large american fatcats who also have interest in the movie and music industry then providing service to their clients as promised on their contracts and sells pitch.
Micheal Geist: i will join any class action law suit you believe can stop this. Is it illegal to throttle our connection?
The only thing we can do is continuously send in complaints about the company Bell Canada Inc. It is clear that there are many people who are enraged by the scams Bell seem to be pulling. In other words their method used to limit speed Which is known as Deep Packet Inspection allows them to see personal information. This personal information can contain names, addresses, telephone numbers, web mail, account information to all sites used by you as the customer and even credit card information.
Regardless of if this information is not being personally monitored the fact of the matter is, is that the company mentioned has this information which is a violation of Canadian privacy laws. Consider if some person were to get this information, they could use it for fraudulent activities such as credit card scams. The only thing we as the customers can do is send in as many complaints to the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission CRTC as possible.
I rebooted my modem and cheecked again, this time it says I am in Oakville and then Milton. Go figure. I have complained to Bell support when they had a support website, and they cept saying I was too far from the CO to get any more speed or bandwidth. If they got me wired to Mississauga, no wonder they say I am too far away from the CO.
So anybody complaining about Bells speed, this how they do it. They got you wired the longest route possible. Even changing ISP could get me the same results. Everything was fine and just about 6 months ago, I receive a bill in the mail for an astonishing price of around Another issue I have with bell is I always have to call them for their stupid mistakes on the bill. Why is this? They WILL suck the money out of your account.
After at least a half-hour on the phone I give up. He gave up and said that a modem will be on the way within business days. Within 5 days my new 2Wire Wireless modem appears. So I test it out, and start trying to download everything I can. I often switch my office laptop from router to router while watching megavideo have to love my job — lol , and came up with an interesting idea recently.
About an hour ago, I thought about trying something out. I switched from one router the one I had been using to download torrents, and was currently using to do so to the other router — same torrents — but no longer throttled.
It only lasted so long, but I was surprised by this. The worse part aside from not even having available speeds compared to places like Korea and Japan — looking down a peer list — seeing download rates averaging 1. I just cancelled my bell phone service this week but kept the internet service.. I check my speeds with toast. We should make a website, lawsuitagaintsbell. And we make members until we are like and fill a lawsuit so that we can all have our money back!!! They told us that you can not cancel half way through a month….
I was not happy but had bigger things on my mind so i paid the additional month. After paying our remaining bill from bell, we did not expect to hear back with them. We received a bill from bell for dollars. I called bell and they said that it was for breaking our contract? We were with simpatico for about a year and a half. We always paid our bill on time. And now this? What is this charge all about? I called up bell and they said that we signed up for a 2 year contract. They said that we agreed to this because we clicked on something on the computer?
We did no do this. I think that bell is very misleading and sneaky…Not a great way to do business. I called bell to get things straightened out. They said that they could not change anything as this charge is their policy. I plan on taking this matter to small clims court. Im not sure if i will win, but i wish to go on principal alone, bell does not practise moral business. They must be stoped. I just switched from Bell to Primus Canada and what a difference.
Like the others, I am not torrenting once in a while , and my internet connection was slow that I was in tears , since I rely heavily on internet coz I am an online student. My instant messenger would fail, as well as skype, and I have called them many times, I have complained about throttling, about connection, speed, and they said there is nothing they could do about it.
I was so frustrated with them, and I am with Primus now, and there is a HUGE difference in speed, and it is also cheaper. Hahaha…I really hate them. You know what I mean. Circut operator I just dropped Bell today. Which is slower than when I had dial-up. CRTC maybe in their corner allowing them to throttle their internet speeds to customers ,but the problem is there may be no customers to thottle.
Hopefuly Bell Canada goes out of business. I hope that it will be usefull to all of you.

John Smith says: January 17, at pm. Do they ever throttle http connections?
Or just torrents? How can they tell? Pyro says: January 21, at pm. Rogers is also blocking Torrent Encryption. Sympatico says: January 29, at pm. That limited bandwidth is causing congestion from many COs, but some more than others. This would also explain why … 1 performance issues for ALL traffic started about the time throttling was implemented. Just kidding! Chris says: January 30, at am.
Hope this helps! This is Canada we live in… not China! We should not allow this. Snuggles says: February 18, at am. Regardless, Sympatico is horrible. Henry17 says: March 9, at am. JLS says: March 10, at pm. Henry17 says: March 12, at am.

Seemed to have fixed all my issues. On the other hand if you call tech support you do get a general message that there are problems with the mail servers.
So you can't be the only one. If it makes you feel better;. I know there is around 10 minutes delay often on getting mail. MSN sent me back to Sympatico for the slow e-mail problem! I send in headers and got no reply. Send another header two days later to syminfo sympatico. From MSN Support: "Peter, inasmuch as we would like to address your concern, unfortunately, we cannot do so as the Sympatico group can best handle your concern.
In this regard, I again suggest that you contact their Support team at: » www. Most commented news this week [44] U. Hard drive destruction [ PC Hardware ] by Onaran Buick Envision WiFi password.
