Ask HN: Canadians, is Rogers throttling your connection?

Lately it seems my internet service has been cut dramatically. Nearly all downloads are slowed to 100KB/s. I used to be able to pull down 2MB/s, it's definitely a large drop (20X). I can no longer play Youtube videos without halting to buffer every 20 seconds. The Canadian internet situation seems to now be in very dire shape. We have a duopoly in control over all communications in the country, and they are now throttling down our connections while increasing our bills, and not improving (even decreasing) our service. I have been at a 95GB/mo cap for over 5 years now. I blame the Canadian government and the CRCT for this situation. The telecommunications industry in Canada is a public cartel that clearly does not have users' quality of service in mind. The government is clearly working toward tightening controls and maximizing profits for Rogers and Bell. I just wonder when this madness will end?
