Sounds good to me.

Industry leading? What industry? Because last time I looked, my DSL ISP has NO bandwidth cap. Zero. Sky's the limit. |

Re: Boo to caps.
At least they are admitting they have caps. Much better than trying to hide them deep in some TOS with the legal babel and general BS. |

Edmonton, AB | 100gb cap isn't industry leading.
umm the 100gb cap isn't industry leading, shaw has been using that on their xtreme package for some time now. Their extreme package is 7mbps. 100 is a little low for 100 bux and on an uber fast connection. |

I have routinely gone over stated caps with no problems, I am not sure if they are even enforced unless you totally abuse the service. |

What's the point of having a fast connection with limitations? I'd rather have a slower connection without data caps. Would I download 100 GB in a month? Probably not, but what if I had to for some reason?
I think most users will agree with me when I say: "I'd rather not have to think before I download and track my data usage." My 7 Mbps RR is fast enough for me, and they don't seem to have usage caps.

| Traffic.
How are they determining legitimate traffic as opposed to multiple ports scans and hacker attempts against your ip. What if a group of people did a low level DOS attack against you. Not enough to bring down your connection but push you above the 100g limit. |

Yea. Better they state it then come out of nowhere one day hammering people with extra fees per GB. Atleast they give a definite answer compared to comcast. |
