I'm not quite sure how this will go over, but the CRTC is trying to measure the average consumer's Internet connection speed, presumably so they can discover whether you're getting what your provider has promised. 

They say they would only measure the speed when you're not on the web, which for many of us would be when we're at work or asleep. But would you trust the CRTC to only monitor your speed and not what you're looking at? I believe them when they state their goal and I'm not sure the tech they need to get these results would actually be able to spy on you. 

But given my feelings about the Commission over the years, I certainly would not be inclined to let them into my house for any reason. 

Anyway, you can judge for yourself or learn how to sign up by reading their press release here.
