Canadian ISPs furious about Bell Canada’s traffic throttling
Not that Rogers is any better. This leaves exactly zero alternatives for a residential internet connection that isn’t tampered with in some form by the providers.

I am Boolean (aka Rob Campbell). I recently moved back to Moncton, NB, Canada and work for an open source software company as a hacker. In my spare time, I play Xbox, read, watch video and when inspired, dabble with music or shoot pictures. Lately, I’ve been trying to lower my golf handicap.
The name “boolean” is my gaming nick, picked under pressure during the heady days of the original Unreal Tournament. Attempts to explain this call-sign, frequently mispronounced when read as “BOO-LEEN”, often results in hilarious confusion and calls of, “nerd!”
