Their charges for overages are just as bad and have been there for much longer than Shaw's charges have been, so moving because Shaw has suddenly added charges is not all that bright.
(although Telus claims they can't track it, anyone who knows about networking can tell you they are most likely just choosing not to, and waiting for Shaw to take the brunt of the PR fallout before they start actually charging)
Like I said, there are other reasons that it might be valid, including a slightly higher cap (125 vs 100), Optik TV, but UBB would not be a good one, in my eyes.

As I read it, the contract says if you go over your usage cap, you will be charged. The thing is, your usage is always showing as 0, so until they flip that switch you won't be. As far as I can tell, they don't need to give any notice for being charged to happen, but I expect we will get at least the same notice as has happened with Shaw, ala rumors on the internet. I would try and find a link to that contract, but I am sure it is in this thread somewhere, along with how the charges are higher (with some plans).
