Guys....unless you have a third party reseller of rogers,bell etc. that offers an uncapped package this will likely not affect you. Anyone buying service from Bell, Rogers, Cogeco etc are already metered and those rates are likely not to change..infact you will be getting more and more over time as the networks are getting faster and cheaper to build. Think about it...most of us payed the same price for dial up years ago as our high speed today. Than we had 5gig cap....now I have a 60gig cap.
As someone who is in the telecommunications industry and knows how the internet works I have to say.....are you upset that you would have to pay more for a faster connection? If not than why are you upset that you would have to pay more for more bandwidth? The internet is shared, speed and bandwidth both cost the provider...it would only make sense that we pay for both as well.
I think the problem in Canada is the lack of competion....but to me this has nothing to do with that.
Also another issue that is way more important in my eyes is net neutrality. Once speed and bandwidth are payed for it should only be my business as to how I use the public internet.
