Bullshit it won't concern her. Anyway, that was the worst back and forth. I wish they'd bring in some qualified technical experts to question him. Whoah, I can barely understand him, can we bring back the translator?

"If you can tell me how to do it I'll gladly do it" So basically they have no idea how to future proof these decisions, thanks CRTC.

She needs to hammer on why our caps suck compared to other countries. Bell wants to impose those caps on their resellers' customers which is 100% stifling competition. Other countries don't have this barrier to competition, why do we?

That's not going to affect anyone with a 20gb cap. Unless of course they decide to do ANYTHING ELSE during the month, like updating their Windows security patches, or watching a few hours of Youtube, or streaming some music. My iPhone polling gmail every five minutes is 75mb a month, I'm just going to throw that out there. Not a lot compared to a 20gb cap but the smallest poo poo adds up.

The anti UBB groups need to tear this hearing APART with both hands. To be fair to him, he did say he believes caps are too low/etc, so at least he's not (totally) insane.

I'm not really worried about the gigahertz thing. I think it's very plausible that everyone involved is nervous and trying to speak at length and just messing up the terms. I know I've botched technical terms in an interview before because I was nervous. I mean I caught myself a second later and corrected, but that's just me. If you go ask him about it in a situation where he's not being put on the spot I bet you money he'd get it right. I don't think that was the worst part of the hearing anyway. There was so much more material there to complain about.

I agree that most tech savvy people would likely be anti UBB, but that's not to say they couldn't be reasonable. Like I'm not against UBB per se, I'm against UBB at a 5000% markup. I'm not against bandwidth caps per se, I'm against bandwidth caps that would have been shameful in 2006.

Dudebro posted:Unlimited internet has been shown to work in other countries with way more population density than Canada. It is not some kind of fantasy world. I'm not saying I wouldn't PREFER unlimited uncapped internet or that it's impossible to do, but if we're going to have a reasonable debate about making concessions then I'd be ready to concede that a cap of 250-400gb is reasonable, at least on a mid-tier package, for example. Other people can debate that it isn't enough, but at least it's in the realm of possibility, unlike the "hey 60gb should be enough for a family of four" thing which is just asinine. some kinda jackal fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Feb 4, 2011 |

I really hope someone hammers on this in the media. I normally hate being disingenuous, but put them on the defensive for a change. Come out with "Bell wants us all to pay overage fees, when they themselves admitted they've been overstating their customers' bandwidth usage". But really when I think about it, maintain the moral high ground and don't

jizzpowered posted:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOPl4_YsTzg This Bell guy is driving me crazy. "For only $15 you can buy 600 hours of content" "If you spend 30 minutes browsing a website it's less capacity than 30 minutes of video" Either time is a valid metric here or it isn't. You can't use it to justify your pricing and then tell us it's highly variable. Hint: It's not a valid metric.

The problem is that there is no distinction between "good" P2P and "bad" P2P. If you're just breaking apps because they use bittorrent then I can't believe anyone would think that was a legitimate excuse for Rogers to use. Not that I'm suggestion anyone here is saying that.

I really hope the Stop The Meter guys raise their voice with the election looming. I mean in the grand scheme of things it would be pretty stupid to vote based solely on this issue, but they should take the opportunity to make it at least AN issue. Maybe I don't mean the stop the meter people specifically. There should be a body that handles the whole "our internet sucks dick" issue, not just UBB.

What is their overage policy? Capped fee, or open ended at like $10/mb?

Yeah. Definitely find out. We're on a 60gb/mo Cogeco plan, but our overages are capped at $35 or something. We haven't been cut off yet. So for the price difference of $30 which effectively would buy us the next tier up (120gb/mo) we get a virtually unlimited connection.
