Internet

People who complain about others hogging the bandwidth clearly do not understand how the internet works.

ISP such as Bell (BCE) throttles your usage and it is just another cash grab by greedy corporations to profit off a captive audience.

Frankly, I am fed up with regulatory boards that profess to be looking after our best interests and in the mean time we pay the price and have no input on a one sided contractual agreement.

Perhaps the CRTC can regulate annoying advertisers and their pop-up ads and allow people a do not load list similar to the do not call list.

Corruption is permissible in other countries but in canada it is only legal if you are in the political arena.

CRTC UUB Internet Cap

Usage-based billing for Gateway Access Services and third-party Internet access services

7(b) to render reliable and affordable telecommunications services of high quality accessible to Canadians in both urban and rural areas in all regions of Canada;

File number: 8661-C12-201015975 this is not the case in this area

Usage Based Billing-UBB

CRTC recently rendered a decision forcing all independent DSL and Cable Internet providers to substantially match incumbent (like Bell) usage rate caps. This will influence all internet service packages eventually, but DSL residential customers in Ontario and Quebec first, as of March 1.

I am paying for a service but you are making decisions that do not reflect my interests.

I am currently paying more and getting less the internet is supposed to be high speed but I am only getting 512 and most times the service is not great and takes forever just to load a page.

If you as a whole are going to put this in place you best insure that advertisers cannot place all their pop-ups videos and advertisements on the pages as this will eat into my bandwidth and time on the net.

I am frankly fed up with all these various boards; committees etc who profess to provide a service and oversee issues for the people.

Economically most of us are not in the same income bracket and our purchasing power is greatly reduced.

I was only made aware of your governing body decision by a friend not by the crtc or by the internet provider.

I disagree with your decision to allow this and one more time socially and educationally excluding people who are already economically disadvantaged.

Heck you still never got around to resolving a complaint regarding bell service way back when I had service with them.

In the end as with all these Canadian boards sugar,oil,coffee,wheat etc you will cave in to the corporate agenda because you are too weak to take a firm stand and money has become your God and your greed serves the corporate interests.

So the decision to proceed - I request that you ensure that I am on a do not load list for the WebPages and they make it available in straight text like the old days when the web offered gopher and the option of text to reduce my time on the net and bandwidth time.
