I believe that Teksavvy leases from both Telus and Shaw as they have both DSL and cable plans available. Whether or not they impose a new, lower cap would depend a lot on what their agreement is with Telus/Shaw. Their main point of difference is, at the moment, the 200 GB cap, and if the CRTC lets Shaw neuter Teksavvy, then competition has essentially failed. I would imagine that they'd rather have a higher cap if they are allowed to continue doing so.
