Cogeco Brass should be meeting on this one

This applies to all Isp's
From the CRTC Website

CRTC framework

The Commission has established a set of criteria to determine whether an Internet traffic management practice is acceptable. In the Commission’s view, a practice should only be implemented if:
* it is designed to address a valid purpose, such as preventing congestion on an Internet network
* it is as narrowly tailored as possible to achieve the desired result, using the least restrictive means
* it causes as little harm as possible to the customer, application provider or the ISP that is a wholesale customer, and
* network investments or economic approaches would not effectively achieve the same purpose.

Notice the last line
Nerwork Investments Vs Traffic Management

This is vague, I mean couldn't you always make "Network Investments" that would achieve less congestion?

At face value, I see that as "Upgrading your network or charge customers for what they use".

I won't pretend to be in the heads of the people at the CRTC, but I imagine they are referring to reasonable upgrades. I agree it's a little vague, but I imagine they intended it to be that way so that there's wiggle room in future decisions.

Of course it is vague. We are talking about the CRTC and the industry here. I guarantee that this framework will not improve speeds or service one bit. Canada will continue to fall behind.
