Ultimately it seems the cap changes are negligible and you still have a two month window of being able to go over? That's mainly what I withdrew from this thread. I recall last time this house went over the bandwidth limit, the internet got shut off and we had to call to get it reactivated - a slap on the wrist.

Perhaps the most disconcerting thing is the gray area and inconsistency of these companies, or more specifically in my case, Shaw.
I've enjoyed reading it as well.

But what is negligible now will be something different a year from now. If they make small enough bad changes, over time we will learn to accept all of it. I know there has been a lot of talk of how how video and downloading is taking up much of the 'tubes. But just like how we went from 56k to broadband, they shouldn't use this as an excuse to limit our use.

The level of competition we have in this space is sad. I'd like to voice my opinion with my wallet, but it's pretty much on or off
