And yet, I work from home, I have my own websites, I use Skype, I have torrents running a lot of the time, I do online backups, I watch video online constantly, I use Netflix, I have multiple computers at home doing updates to virus/OS/etc, I game online, I buy my games off Steam online and have to download them etc.

I am a power user in the extreme, and I have never, not once, exceeded my monthly bandwidth allotment. In the very few cases where I came close, it was because I knew I was doing things that were significantly out of the norm and simply delayed the out of norm thing until the next month.

If the bandwidth cap is exceedingly onerous, why was this petition not in place before the bandwidth cap was raised earlier?

Don't get me wrong, I agree that Canada is behind in terms of what is offered elsewhere in the world, but the argument style being employed is simply flawed, pure appeal to emotion and fear mongering.
