Bell Canada trying to edge out the (not-so-little) little guys

The throttling that they inflict on their own users is trickling down to other ISPs like Teksavvy, reducing them to the role of Sympatico resellers, essentially. This means Bell, not the ISP, can control many of the usage policies and offerings.
