Net Neutrality Concerns Hit Parliament Hill

This issue may be old for those of you south of the border, but up here in Canada we're just getting started. And for those of you that don't know what's going on, here's a super high level overview of the issue; Major ISPs here in Canada (like Bell, Rogers, Cogeco, etc...) have decided to throttle back bandwidth for certain applications - regardless if you are a customer of theirs or not. While I'm not a user of the current applications that they have targeted and thus not effected, I don't agree with what they are doing. You can read about this all over the Canadian news sites, so I won't bore everyone with details.

I do want to say that while reading this news article from CBC on the issue, I was surprised to TekSavvy referenced.  Even more, I was taken back to see that the CEO was the rally's organizer.  Why? Simple, that's my ISP! They do an awesome job and I've been a happy with them since the day I first signed up as a customer. It's great to see that they are not just taking a stand, but also leading the fight. I'm proud to be a customer and help support you through these challenges. Yes Geeked
