| Basically all of this has already been tried in Australia...
There are shades of metered billing, overage, throttling after your quota is reached and the worst the peak/off peak system to 'encourage' people to download at non peak hours.
The ONLY good thing is that at least unlike rogers or bell they don't throttle your torrents or anything else you download. If you pay X for Y data then you get it full speed all the time.
At least Australia has an excuxe (huge monopoly like Telstra + high international bandwidth costs because we only have two major cables) but for Canada you have land connections to the US (where the real internet is anyway) so why would they need this? Is last mile really that congested? |
