Meh, Cogeco did the exact same thing just recently. They turned the caps hard with no option for overages - basically, they just cut you off at 75GB - and then they jacked up the rate for service by $5-$10/month. Pretty ballsy if you ask me.
Next up for Cogeco will be to charge for excessive usage; it's in their TOS. I wanna see the reaction when this sh*t happens in the US.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Kick-in-the-boules-19292314 Sat, 20 Oct 2007 08:27:26 EDT Re: Kick in the boules. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Kick-in-the-boules-19291558 --

Looks like Robbers are just following their cable buddies in Quebec. Aren't they cute : cable monopolies raping/robbing their users ?
Cable companies protecting their networks from P2P users who abuse the network non-stop and raise everyone elses costs.
i'm not a big fan of the pirates, but I'm wondering how they differentiate between pirated stuff, and people who are patching WoW, downloading legit stuff, etc etc?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Kick-in-the-boules-19290895 Fri, 19 Oct 2007 22:22:44 EDT Re: Kick in the boules. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Kick-in-the-boules-19290491 CORPORATE GREED!

If one person in your town gets this "superbug" staph virus going around, should they kill the whole town to stop the bug? No. You treat the one that does and educate the others to stop it from spreading. Same should apply with your argument. Find those that are abusing the network and terminate them or cap 'em.
I agree. Those users should be should be capped or shut off.

Rogers has decided to offer less to paying customers, and infact charge them more? WTF LESS FOR MORE? Rogers, apparently thinks they are the only high speed provider.Meh, Cogeco did the exact same thing just recently.

What's next? Realigning speeds to 1.5 mbps to reflect "outstanding customer service"? Man, one step forward two steps back.
Hahaha, isn't that exactly what they did back in 2003? From 3Mbit/s to 1.5Mbit/s overnight? I know the people in the GTA who were Shaw territory prior to Rogers' buyout were pretty pissed with that, they dropped from ~7 to 1.5.

Just 2 months ago, Videotron put a 100GB cap on their 10/1 extreme "unlimited" service even for pple ON A CONTRACT. Pple could break their contracts withought any penalty due to this. I know i did.

Already torrents are shaped, now they are lowering the cap. What's next? Realigning speeds to 1.5 mbps to reflect "outstanding customer service"? Man, one step forward two steps back.
