Internet 2 Incremental Implementation

[Anonymous]

My aunt was telling how Bell Canada tried to charge her $60 for exceeding the alloted bandwidth quota in the past two months.  The service she once had was Unlimited bandwidth.  This was common amongst ISPs for a while, but in the past 3 years policies have been changing.  

The DSL and Cable ISPs have been switching from restricted to unlimited bandwidth usage since the early 2000's.  I remember in 2002-ish I had Cable, and it was unlimited, then they applied a quota and I was getting charged hundreds of dollars, even though I didn't know about this change.  I managed to get out paying the bill due to this.  I then went to DSL which at the time did not have the quota.  Some years later Cable provided a higher speed and higher costing account to customers who wanted unlimited bandwidth with faster speed.  I was still on DSL.  A little later the Cable company removed this unlimited account, leaving only the "Extreme Speed" feature.  What good is 20 megabits per seconds (2 megabytes per second) access when you can't even use it to it's fullest.  So the Cable users had quotas imposed without any grandfather clause taking effect to enable them to hold onto their contract features.  At around the same time, I on DSL, had a similar effect.  Instead of making it so that DSL users had a quota, they just throttled back your speed if they determined you were using it too much.  This was in 2006-2007.  Any DSL provider who detected their client going over 100GB/month bandwidth would be cut down from the normal 300KBytes/s to about 25KBytes/s, as I experienced it.  So it was effectively a quota.

Now back to the past year.  DSL now removed the unlimited bandwidth from every service they offered.  My aunt previously had no bandwidth limit, and since she was on the old service contract, she still had no limit (grandfather clause).  I was using her computer to DL torrents because I am now on satellite and everything p2p related is blocked.  Everything was fine for a while.  Eventually, she got a call at some point by Bell, telling her she should switch to this new plan that would save her $5, and that nothing would change.  Well of course this was a lie and an attempt to remove clients from their previous service under the grandfather clause so they would become clients of the new quota-based DSL service.  So she saved $5 and then found $60 bills in the months to come.

I just wanted to tell you the above story to see how they are slowly implementing certain aspects of the Internet 2.  The telecomm industry is implementing the agenda on their own.  Slowly, as is now the absolute, services that offered unlimited bandwidth were removed.  No one can get unlimited anymore in my area.  you can get faster speed... but that will just fuck you over when you download stuff too fast and go over the limit before you know it.  They are tricky dicky's these bastards.  I don't see how they could implement the preventing user access to certain sites without government legislation, but I wouldn't put it past them to start to prevent access to certain sites on their own as company policy in tandem with the overall agenda.

Here there is no restriction on bandwidth but many sites are blocked I had to buy an account with a company in the US in order to access ziopedia and torrentz. For some reason the one region where you can voice your opinion about zionist Jews freely is also the one place where it is completely controlled and FUCK INTERNET 2.

I've been secretly preparing a solution for my fellow TiUers who live in countries where Internet connectivity is limited or firewalled and can't leave their computers on all the time for torrents. I'm testing a PHP Bittorrent client with a web-login and when I get it working properly, I'll make a formal announcement.
