There is a theme in the comments on yesterday’s posting<\/a> (and in the continued postings<\/a> and comments on Michael Geist’s blog) that calls into question Bell adhering to its tariffs.<\/p>\n

I have not seen anyone refer to the General Terms of Service (Item 10<\/a>), which apply to all services purchased under tariff. It appears to me that Article 8 (Restrictions on Use of Service) seems pretty clear about Bell’s right to manage traffic loads, even those of resellers:<\/p>\n

For this purpose, Bell Canada may limit use of its services as necessary. In the case of any party line customer who unduly interferes with the use of any other service on the same line, Bell Canada may require the customer to obtain a higher grade of service, where facilities are available.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
