That's ridiculous.  VoIP doesn't use that much bandwidth (about
64kbps).  And in any case, are you not buying the advertised bandwidth?
It's as if these ISPs think retail "broadband" is just port 80 and some
email and nothing else.  That's not an IP connection --that's AOL
(except without all the value-added services and features).

I hope that customers don't stand for this nonsense and vote with their
dollars (US or CDN).
