Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for your response.
While I would like to furnish 100% concrete proof, this would be hard to do as most ISPs would never readily admit to messing around with user traffic. Yet, it is not really unheard of.
Many ISPs are commonly known to de-prioritize non-essential traffic. Especially in the case of torrent/P2P traffic. Various ports are also throttled by ISPs for similar purposes.
How difficult would it be to extend this to many other areas? It would be an easy extension, wouldn't it? And why wouldn't they? It makes perfectly good sense for many ISPs to do so. What better way to lower congestion than to filter the unimportant "junk"?
How about traffic filters that are used for a variety of purposes? The Chinese Great Firewall is a great example of things to come elsewhere. Think anti-terror countermeasures etc? Filters like these cause massive fluctuations in latencies.
Torrent clients like uTorrent came out with countermeasures like "protocol obfuscation", which is essentially basic encryption that aims to make it harder for filters to guess exactly what kind of traffic it is.
I've never said that services like ours help every single gamer out there. Nor does our site claim to. Which is why we have offered a money back guarantee and are the only one to do so. Because if we can't help you, you get your money back! Good old honest business at its best. Of course, we now offer the trial option. For that, simply email us. Address on site.
You guys have to understand that I'm not addressing Canadians directly, nor do I pretend to know Canadian ISPs like the back of my hand. We do have a few Canadian gamers but our main customer base is admittedly American. I was simply putting our side of the story here since there seem to be a number of guys who might think we sound like scammers! :-D
Thank you for your time! And I'm glad that you do agree on a basic level that it does make sense! Even if its not specifically beneficial for you.

....proof?
Makes sense for certain uses, but seems generally useless for canadians, as we don't really suffer from ISP congestion, and we don't have overly restrictive ISP's.
