This closely follows a coalition filing that we described on Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today’s filing comes from a broader group of 8 ISPs plus CAIP: Accelerated Communications, AOL Canada, Cybersurf, Execulink Telecom, EGATE Networks, MNSi, Telnet Communications, Yak.<\/p>\n

The coalition says Bell’s filings anti-competitive, are not accompanied by proper cost studies and may be based on erroneous data:<\/p>\n

In one case Bell has provided data indicating a residential end user consumed 1 TB (terabyte) of data over 20 hours of use.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think that would imply better than 100Mbps sustained for 20 hours – not bad for a DSL service!<\/p>\n

Two preliminary observations.<\/p>\n

Are we beginning to see a more united ISP industry coalescing that provide better quality regulatory participation than we have typically seen in the past?<\/p>\n

Can usage based billing at a wholesale level be accompanied by removal of the application of traffic shaping from these lines?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
