Thanks for the updated number. After I posted I suspected that the stuff I posted might not have been current, since it was from an intermediate source, so I am glad you found the correct info directly from Telus.

I am firmly on the side of traffic shaping at peak times rather than bandwidth charges. Bandwidth is essentially free, the only expense is the infrastructure and maintenance required.

Telus claims that they currently don't have a system set up to determine which services are using which bandwidth, since all of their offerings use the same 'type' of traffic. I have no reason to doubt these claims, and assuming they are correct, it really wouldn't take much for them to accurately implement and test the tracking.
