That's helpful, thanks.

Also, the statement in point 5 that "Rogers does not look at content.
Our traffic management is not used to identify content: it identifies
only the type of traffic." is demonstrably false. Here is a snippet
they gave us when they shut us down for having an IRC bot on our
network.

Sounds to me like listing usernames and IRC channels is an example of
looking inside content. The type of the traffic is IRC traffic. The
content helps identify it as an IRC bot.
