Subject: Bell Canada throttling P2P traffic
Possibly of interest to some on this list: Bell Canada are throttling  
BitTorrent and other P2P traffic within their network. This means  
that if you have a DSL connection, regardless of who it's from, your  
traffic will be shaped. TekSavvy's Rocky Gadreault posted this at  
DSLREports.com:

"They're now openly acknowledging that they are rolling out a full  
throttling process. They plan to have things fully throttled by April  
7th. All BT and P2P traffic will be affected. They claim they are  
allowed to do so according to their Terms and Services under the Fair  
Usage Policy in the tariffed contracts."
