Rogers Ordered to Stop Throttling WoW and Other Games

[Sep 17, 2011, 12:15 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission issued an order yesterday to Rogers Communications giving the internet provider until September 27 to formulate a plan to cease throttling online games such as World of Warcraft, reports the Calgary Herald. Noting that Rogers own traffic management policy states that "online games, such as World of Warcraft, should not be throttled or slowed down, and would only be affected if Rogers misclassifies the games and other peer-to-peer applications were running at the same time." For its part, Rogers states it has corrected the issue with World of Warcraft and is "not aware of any problems with any other online games." Thanks Ant via Slashdot.

Nearly 40% of their population will be retiring in the next 10 years. And if I'm going to be getting screwed, I know exactly how I'm going to get screwed and in what way. Plus I don't mind the lifestyle, or the cultural mentality. Kind of a hijack but oh well... They also have a very homogeneous population with a long and proud history of isolationism and racism. Even in the face of their demographic pressures they still cannot overcome their fear of immigration. In that way it is basically the complete opposite of Canada. Good luck integrating in that kind of society.
