Under Shaw's supposed "High Speed" plan, you could download 3 Netflix movies per week, plus some light surfing, and you'd be at your cap. Don't forget, Windows updates, virus updates, game updates, and the fact that even when you aren't home, your modem communicates with Shaw, and that 24/7 usage also gets added to your bill.
Btw, this has nothing to do with downloading illegal movies. It has to do with web-based video (Netflix, hulu, etc) and the fact that Cable is losing subscribers by the thousands. During Shaw's most recent investor meeting, they said they lost 6500 cable subscribers this year. Now with UBB, people will be forced to re-sub to Cable. Shaw wins! We lose.
