Shaw is ending the not being charged for overages because they are the last major ISP to have a policy to do so? Interesting logic. I understand you don't like Shaw but how can you possibly come to that conclusion?
Bell goes to the CRTC and are the first ISP to be given the ability to charge, essentially opening the door for all ISPs to do the same. Telus has had it written in the contracts for all customers for its new high speed service since November (maybe longer, but that is the first time I personally saw it) and Shaw, who has just added the charges starting giving people warnings for a couple months before they start actually charging is at fault?
It is just because Telus doesn't have the ability to track the bandwidth? Because I am sure that will stop as soon as they realize how much money they are leaving on the table. I would make a seriously large wager that no matter how incompetent they are, they will have it resolved in a couple months.
Also, the bandwidth caps for Telus internet are (from

Quote:
TELUS High Speed Lite: 10 GB/month.
TELUS High Speed: 30 GB/month.
TELUS High speed extreme 60 GB/month
TELUS high Speed Turbo 100 GB/month
With overages as follows:
High speed light $5 per an extra gig
High speed $2.00 per an extra gig
High speed enhanced $2.00 per an extra gig
High speed extreme $2.00 per an extra gig.
High speed Turbo $2.00 per an extra gig.

No where there is a 50 gig discrepancy, between comparable plan, except Telus has at least double the per GB charges on overages.
