In that scenario, a broadband user who is a customer of Mom'N'Pop ISP is getting throttled by a third party providing a L2 backhaul.It would appear this is how it should be, however the track record of Bell heeding the CRTC's rulings has not been good. Last year Bell was ordered to offer matching speeds to their wholesale GAS customers to that of their retail offerings, they simply never complied. This ruling only applies to time sensitive traffic, most of which Bell does not currently throttle. While I think most people would agree that its completely wrong to throttle the traffic of a third party wholesale customer, the reality is that Bell does this every day and will continue to do so regardless of what the CRTC tells them.From what you have posted, this would now require prior approval. As I feel strongly that this behavior is quite wrong and should not happen, I am encouraged by these rules.Joe
Disappointing, but at least it is not a step in the wrong direction.
