The real culprit is the CRTC, whose decision to allow UBB was in the interests of the telcos. If you want to yell at someone, that's who should be your target.
This is exactly true.

Once Bell got permission to, it would be ridiculous for everyone else to not follow along to some degree. ISPs could have adopted a strict pay if you go over once, but it appears they are targeting people who are seriously habitual abusers of the cap. I mean if you are going over 3 months in a row, you need to look at upgrading your service a tier or 2.
