To counter P2P programs that encrypt their traffic to evade detection, Rogers Cable in Canada has apparently started [a href="vny!://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/1859/"]degrading all encrypted IP traffic[/a], according to a post on Michael Geist's blog. How many of you log in to work over a VPN or ssh-tunnel? How many get usenet news or email over an encrypted connection?

This could be a problem for Rogers Cable customers. Geist, who teaches at U of Ottawa, has 'been advised that the University computer help desk has received a steady stream of complaints from Rogers customers about off-campus email service.'  
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Interesting. Yes my cable has been shitty for the last while.. alot slower than it used to be and it would reset as well at times when i was downloading larger files.
