CRTC Releases Status Report On Complaints Related To Internet Traffic Management…. No Useful Data Provided

This is one of those good news, bad news situations. Here’s the good news. The CRTC posted this Tweet a few minutes ago:

If you click the link, you’ll see that CRTC will show you a graph that displays the number of complaints about Internet Traffic Management which is a nice way of saying the throttling of bandwidth based on what apps you use. For example, if you’re a heavy BitTorrent user, your ISP may throttle your bandwidth as a result. Below the graph, there is some other moderately general information.

Here’s the bad news. Nothing provided shows the type of complaints, which ISPs the complaints are against or anything that would really help the public. That makes this report pretty much useless. You have to wonder why the CRTC would even bother. It’s things like this that make the CRTC completely irrelevant in the minds of most Canadians.
