Those with Teksavvy, Velcom, Acanac, etc.
Just read an email from my ISP...
We are writing this notice to bring some important news to your attention.
There have been several news articles in relation to several positions being taken by certain companies to restrict/shape your connection to the internet, also known as throttling. The saga continues.
Recently a filing has been submitted by certain ISPs in order require certain Telecom providers such as (Bell/Telus/etc) to offer similar speeds they would offer their own retail customers. The new filing is being disputed by the Telecom providers, at the same time a new Tariff (fee) has been submitted to the CRTC by the Telecom providers to force ISPs to impose new charges/fees. This new Tariff is known as “Used Based billing -UBB”.
Bell provides Velcom wholesale DSL services. If the new Tariff filing submitted to CRTC was approved and Bell was permitted to charge UBB, this would introduce new heavy charges that ultimately would be passed on to you. Your account would be limited to 60GB per month and you would be charged a hefty cost per gigabyte thereafter. We must do everything in our power to prevent this new filing! This would force Velcom the inability to offer unlimited internet access going forward if the new filing is approved.
We ask of all of you to submit your comments to the CRTC so we all can be heard! The deadline is midnight for sharing your thoughts!
How exactly can you submit your comments?
Go to: http://support.crtc.gc.ca/crtcsubmissionmu/forms/Telecom.aspx\?lang=e
From the drop down list select “Tariff”.
In the subject line enter:
“File Number # 8740-B2-200904989 - Bell Canada - TN 7181”
In the next “Description / Comments / Questions:” field enter your comments. Make them aware of how you feel! It’s important!
