No shock as CRTC allows Bell to continue fucking over its customers

That's the way Canada works. Corporations Good, Private Interests Bad...

The CRTC has the pubic good in mind as much as Bell does. =/

At least we have an alternative to Bell here in Toronto. We can always go to Rogers..

HAHAHHAHA. I crack myself up.

Bell Canada Inc. is not breaking any laws by slowing internet speeds and will be allowed to continue throttling its customers, the CRTC has ruled.

The phone company, Canada's biggest internet service provider with two million high-speed customers, has shown that it needs to be able to manage its network in order to prevent congestion, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission said in a decision released Thursday.

Bell will therefore be able to continue slowing the internet access it sells to smaller wholesale companies, as well as to its own retail subscribers. The company will be required to give its wholesale customers 30 days notice when it wants to implement changes to its network management practices.
