This is a day by day account of the whole Bell Canada fiasco.
Included is the actual filing to the CRTC from the CAIP. Details a very accurate description of Bell Canada's poor practices, however, some aspects of the filing may not be for the less technical.

p.s. We miss you Connie. =)

Thanks, Lance. It is incredible–the graphs, if they are accurate, show web traffic during throttling a third of what it was total from the previous week before it started.

While you're revisiting throttling, you may want to take a look at the network statistics recently released by one of the third party ISPs being throttled. I'm stunned that there was such a huge drop in UDP because BitTorrent uses TCP for its payload. I suspect it has something to do with issues with VoIP in the presence of throttling..
