Is it true that if you go over your monthly transfer limit, and they give you a warning or suspend your account, that they will put a cap/limit on the speed?
And how can I get free internet for a year?

This is what Shaw in general says about bandwidth usage. They don't seems to mind the upload as much as they use too. Hence the 30 GB up+down.
Lite-speed: They don't look at because of the bandwidth you have you can't transfer a whole lot.
Regular High-speed: If you stay under 30 GB down+up/30 days (or 1 GB/Day) you will likly never get a call from the AUP team. If you go over then you are gambling. It all depends on the impact in your area.
Extreme High-speed: You pay an extra $10 month and you can transfer 50 GB down+up/30 days (or 1.67 GB/Day). Extreme is only offered if you have a Docsis area. Most of Shaw's major centres are using the old system and the new Docsis system (Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Victoria, Winnipeg). The Okanogan will be next.
