THE DEMAND: The primary reason for the slowdowns is the growth in the number of devices connecting to the network and the growth in video on demand (VOD) traffic.

According to projections by network infrastructure giant Cisco Systems, VOD traffic is expected to quadruple between 2010 and 2015 while the number of devices connected to the Internet is expected to double.

Restricting Sevice: In Canada, the big Internet service providers to have responded to this explosive growth by blocking or restricting service on their networks in order to provide an acceptable level of service to all of its customers. For example, Rogers Cable restricts upload speeds on its $60 a month “Extreme” internet package to just 1 Mbps upload speed and a bandwidth cap of 100GB per month. In addition, online gaming and peer-to-peer file sharing are capped at a dial-up modem era speed of 80 kbps.

In hearings with the CRTC, Rogers and other ISPs say their networks are simply not capable of providing a high level of service to all customers without implementing these types of rationing measures.

THE CHANGE & THE OPPERTUNITY in VTI : In Canada, the implementation of the next big thing in internet connectivity has been quite limited. The percentage of homes with access to Fibre optic connections is likely less than 2% and is restricted to areas of Manitoba and Atlantic Canada.

Unfortunately for consumers in Canada’s most populous provinces (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta), the roll-out of FTTH has been virtually non-existent. In Alberta and British Columbia, Shaw and Telus have announced several FTTH trials over the last four years but have yet to make any major announcements.
