This is the most bizarre piece to come out of @CanadaPIAC in at least a couple weeks:

Public Interest Advocacy Centre » Buying Speed? What Canadians Pay for Broadband: Part 1 – The CRTC’s “Measuring Broadband Canada” report does not measure up https://j.mp/37R1HdB

Complaint: "The sample pool is heavily skewed towards higher tier plans and urban users"

Doesn& #39;t @CanadaPIAC realize that most Canadians are urban users? If #CRTC& #39;s sample pool isn& #39;t skewed urban, it wouldn& #39;t be representative.

If #CRTC wants to measure whether a subscribed service is being delivered, of course it needs to sample data flows when there isn& #39;t other traffic or customer equipment polluting the sample.

Precisely why one would exclude the home network and heavy usage periods

. @CanadaPIAC : "Let’s park our cynicism and assume for a moment, however, that the majority of Canadians do in fact have access to high speed Internet"

No need to make that assumption. The majority of Canadians - order of 90% - do in fact have access to high speed internet

4/5
What #CRTC sought was a report confirming "that all major Canadian ISPs are delivering users with average download speeds that exceed maximum advertised rates"

@CanadaPIAC seems to want a different study (user experience, etc. But that wasn& #39;t what #CRTC was researching
