Is bell throttleing you EXCEPT WHEN YOU CHECK YOUR SPEED ON SPEEDTEST.net and OOKLA .... hmmmmmm It seems when I checked my speed on a non Ookla /speedtest.net
site(s) , I noticed a significant drop across multiple speed test sites !

Can't say about Montreal or Quebec, but in NB they don't appear to be. I have Fiber and any torrents I run usually cap out at around my max theoretical speed.

It is my understanding (in Quebec anyway) that they DO throttle during "peak hours"

Exception being fibe 175 which I just got. It's Ftth, guess at that price point they'd better not be
