Which means that you can achieve your data cap faster and get punished for going over even more due to the higher penalty.

Translates directly into a cash grab. There is no reason the data overage charge should be different on any of the packages.

I assume Shaw has removed all explanation for data caps pending their reassessment - I can't even find the information documenting the data packages anymore.
I am 95% sure that in the 1 page letter I received last month introducing this new policy that a $2/GB charge overage was set on the Lite - Extreme packages. Of course, this letter has mysteriously disappeared as do most things of general importance do in this household.
