Bell's Own Data Exposes P2P As a Red Herring 261
dougplanet writes with news from the Canadian-throttling front: "As ordered by the CRTC, Bell has released (some) of its data on how torrents and P2P in general are affecting its network. Even though there's not much data to go on, it's pretty clear that P2P isn't the crushing concern. Over the two-month period prior to their throttling, they had congestion on a whopping 2.6 and 5.2 per cent of their network links. They don't even explain whether this is a range of sustained congestion, or peaks amongst valleys."

Of course, decreased usage means less photons moving down the fibre optic line. which means less wear on the fibre, cause of all the wear that photons cause on the line.
