Re: Max over charges DOUBLING to $50 in March for all tiers!!!

I doubt it is a "rumour". Two different people from two different departments, both came to the same conclusion, after I insisted they double check their statement. Grrrrrrr.

Both the telcos and cablecos want to shed their higher-usage subscribers or at the very least make them more profitable. Since so many subscribers choose to hit the overage cap instead of moderating their usage, upgrading to more expensive plans or going somewhere else, they are compensating for their initial strategy's misfire by making "cheap unlimited" more expensive.

Now that both Bell-land cablecos have bumped their overage cap to $50/month, it should be only a matter of time before Bell bumps theirs too.
