Re: Canada No Different Than US Caps

said by jericho7:

Most US internet providers have the exact came caps as Canada, some even worse so I'm not sure why having Netflix available to Canadians is any different than Americans. I'm in Nova Scotia and have Eastlink Extreme 15, 15/1 and there is no cap so no issues here with bandwidth consumption and/or overages. Also the higher tier speeds like the 30/2 and the 100/5 have 250GB caps. I'm not getting some comments as to why Canada is any different than the US when it comes to the cap issue.
You're in the minority then. Every other major cable company in Canada has caps, as do all of the telco DSL providers (though Telus is lax in enforcing them).

I could go to Nexicom's ADSL2+ with no caps or throttle for $40.00.
So we aren't all up the creek here but for the time being I am happy with 10/1 and 60Gb for $29.00. Netflix could change that though.
