Apparently Harper (our PM) is going to be discussing things with the CRTC about it. What's funny is that in 1995 I not only had better speeds on my cable modem (10Mbps both up and down GG), there were no bandwidth limits and I could dick around on peoples Windows network because people had their windows workgroups wide open, it was great!
I get usage billing, totally understand the need for it to create better and larger networks and the likes, but milking people at $2/gb overage charges is asinine, and having 60-75gb caps per month is ludicrous.
I have a feeling this shit will be quashed, sort of, but the existing stupid limits will stay and be enforced by idiots like Bell/Rogers/Shaw. Telus, who went that route in the past, found out that they bled off customers pretty quickly so even though they have caps listed, they never charge overage.
