Speed Reduced To 3%

Of Advertised Download Speed
Bell Canada has revealed to the CRTC that certain downloads are reduced to as little as 3% of their advertised download speeds for about 9 1/2 hours per day.
The company will soon have to post on their website details of how they 'throttle' (selectively slows down) certain peer to peer file transfers. This is all a practice the company uses to control internet traffic.
During a ten hour period each day the company throttles certain traffic as it is unable to slow down traffic only when demand increases, due to technological issues.
So you can forget those blistering high speeds Bell advertises as they don't apply to all downloads at all times. That new bigger and faster computer you just bought may not increase your download speeds after all.
