| Not really... I use Facebook, and God only knows what they do with that information. I really don't care what advertisers trend from my habits, and this Rogers thing... well, the net neutrality issue is eventually going to come to a head as people find more interesting ways to circumvent your experience.
Don't get me wrong, I'm slightly concerned about certain data mining techniques, and nefarious acts committed with my data, but I was dismissing the OP's original question which completely came out of left field and had zero basis in fact, almost random.
While I don't hold Cogeco in the positive light that I used to, I hold them above techniques such as those suggested in that Rogers article. |

| Google does it to me everytime I go to my gmail, there is always sponsored links for things the email is about, not a big deal to me.
Net Neutrality died when banner ads first made an appearance, at that time we ceased going to webpages and went to adclick instead |

Do not kid yourself. Traffic shaping boxes are data mining machines. Cogeco has traffic shaping boxes. They use them just as Rogers and Bell do. In this oligopoly marketplace one follows the others lead very quickly.
BTW congrats Cogeco with the 25% increase in income the quarter.

Looks like traffic shaping and caps are really helping out the bottom line. |
