Impossibe to abuse your ISP. ISP monitor every byte you download and upload,every website you surf on is logged. Why do you think hackers use proxies. If you abuse your ISP by hammering the server you will get a phone call from the Shaw police,if you continue they will shut you down.(been there done that). For the cost effective package on Shaw you have 70gb data transfer limit per month.
Shaw already offers different internet packages. I switched to the business over 10 years ago as I am a heavy downloader off the news servers.
It's faster and my transfer limit is alot more than the cheaper package they offer. I still pay less today then I did 16 years ago on dial up.
This is just an excuse to raise the rates. In reality it's because internet has become so mainstream and integrated in everyday life. Look how we access and use the internet via from 10 years ago.(ipods,iphones,wireless,utube,facebook ect). For most people the reason they have a computer is to access and communicate on the internet. With all the advancements there's a downside. Sure,the IPS make money,but costs alot of money to upgrade their system,upgrade the speed,and
maintenance. If ISP raise rates are you going to stop using the internet? At the end of the day it's going to be the consumer that has to pay. It's inevitable.
