Quite simply, this is an anti-competitive measure that is designed to kill off Netflix and will leave a huge amount of off-peak bandwidth unused. That would not be possible in a competitive market - a competitor without an interest in cable TV would continue to offer unlimited service the way Shaw has been profitably doing up to now, and Shaw's Internet business would cease to be profitable.
