Re: What is the real reason for capping and traffic shaping?

said by beeker :

total amounts of bandwidth used, as 41GB is not a huge amount in our present internet world....

So what is the real reason for capping and traffic shaping?
Fine for the present but what is the rate of growth? If it doubles every few months then Bell and the other ISPs may simply be trying to forestall an impending bandwidth crunch that would impact everyone, including low-bandwidth users.

You cannot fault them for that (although you can for the way they are going about it.)
