This bit raised my eyebrows:

Rogers, which also slows peer-to-peer applications, disputed claims by CAIP
that such throttling affects services such as voice over internet protocol
(VoIP) and virtual private networks (VPN).

"This equipment, therefore, does not impact any other traffic such as VoIP, VPN
and other online streaming applications because their signatures are
different," wrote Ken Engelhart, senior vice-president of regulatory affairs
for Rogers. "There is therefore no reason why VPN or other encrypted traffic
would be affected."

Anyone on Rogers network care to comment on this?
