[QUOTE="Exlibris, post: 477457, member: 11430"] I'm getting a little long in the tooth here, because I remember signing up for Roger's cable internet when it was shiny and new and marketed with no download caps. Heck, we even had static IPs back then. How is it that 10+ years later the only infrastructure improvements have been fiber lines around Toronto while for DSL and cable the caps keep getting tighter while the prices go up? If I signed up for Videotron's high-end cable service here in Montreal and actually used the available transfer speeds I would run over my cap within a few hours. What I want the CRTC to report on is just what capacity the lines are running at; unless they're at 95%+ usage it's absolute balderdash to have the caps we live with. I'm on Teksavvy DSL now, in an old building getting 2.5 Mbps, so the 200 GB cap isn't really a ceiling I often get near, but I also have to assume that recent CRTC decisions will be reflected soon in Teksavvy needing to increase prices, tighten the caps, or both.
