Consumers have come together in Canada in a class action lawsuit against Bell Canada for the company s practice of throttling traffic. There are two charges involved in the lawsuit. The first is for false advertising; the company had advertised the offer of a constant speed at all times which isn t true if throttling is going on. And the second is for violating users privacy through the use of deep packet inspection. Those filing the suit say that the ISP throttles about eighty percent of the time and they are therefore seeking a return of eighty percent of the customers monthly subscriptions along with additional fees for each of the two violations.
