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.
You also have to fill out a paper form, send it by mail and wait weeks before you get internet in Japan. Agree with everything else tho.
