Canadian ISP’s throttling P2P

without comments

Torrent Freak reports “a CRTC investigation reveals that most of the ISPs in Canada actively slow down customers using P2P applications. “The CRTC is looking at the effects of filtering on both regular customers and wholesalers, and the results of the first round of questions are just in. Even though some of the responses are filed in confidence (summarized by Chris Parsons), there is enough information to conclude that all major ISPs slow down customers, with most specifically targeting peer-to-peer traffic.” Bell, Shaw, Cogeco, Rogers and Eastlink admitted throttling back traffic especially for file sharers.
