The market is still not competitive enough. Consumers should have the choice to choose capacity versus throughput if that's what they desire. We still have the 3 big telecoms holding a stranglehold over the infrastructure and a CRTC that seemingly bows to their protectionist whims.

In Korea and Japan 50-100 Mbps with no limits is more and more common. Government owns the infrastructure and leases/licenses it out to providers.

Shaw tying high speeds to lower limits and not having more flexible options is they same as them forcing you to buy bundles of channels in order to get the 1-2 channels you actually want.
