Shaw just *increased* their cap:

There are quite a few smaller ISP's that also either have an "unlimited" tier or don't have tiers. (Teksavvy for example)
Except Canada is pretty much a duopoly for internet. The DSL vs. the Cable company. In Ontario is bell vs. rogers. In the west is Telus vs. Shaw. Yes there are resellers, but recent CRTC rulings is making it very difficult for resellers to offered alternative services (IE bell was allowed the throttle teksavvy customers and impose usage restrictions).
Luckily I'm on telus, who seem to be pretty lax with the caps, but I'd hate to be living in Ontario. Bell vs. Rogers or a crippled teksavvy? (except where teksavvy now offeres cable internet). Not alot of options. you can go to acanac but I think there speeds are slow?
Depends on where you are in Ontario. I'm on 20Mbit ADSL2+, no cap.
