Vancouver Sun's Followup . This is an editorial, but is still worthy of reading, IMNSHO.
»www.vancouversun.com/Opinion+Usa···ory.html
It mentions some not so crazy rates which Telus currently charges their own end-users/customers for Internet. quote: For example, Telus is offering plans ranging from 13 gigabytes per month for a bundled price of $20, to 250 GB per month for $50.
I would not be offended at paying $50 for 250GB UNTHROTTLED usage per month, as long as any overage charges were fair and reasonable, cost-based and linear.
And correct me if wrong, but even this latest CRTC decision 2011-44 does not FORCE the other incumbent ISPs (such as Telus) to set low monthly caps, nor to charge any UBB at all - it only blesses BHell's plan to screw us thru THEIR Indie ISP partners, and recommends that the other incumbents submit tariffs if they wish to hop onto the BHell/CRTC bandwagon. |

Does not force the incumbents to do anything, but allows the incumbents to enforce UBB on wholesalers who use their networks, matching their published UBB caps, EVEN if they waive or discount their retail UBB. -- Ontario can lead again - Tim Hudak in 2011 Save Canadian Internet - StopUBB.ca |

So it looks like you agree with what I said.
My thrust was that Telus, for example, does not HAVE to levy ANY form of UBB on ANYBODY because of CRTC Decision 2011-44, if they should choose to take the 'High Road' on this.
Depending on how this plays out, some of the other incumbents may well (by their actions) break ranks with Bell on making their own form of UBB into BHell's warped flavour of the beast.
Splitting the incumbents along ideological business models could benefit our cause, and so I say that us LOBBYING the OTHER incumbents to be fair and reasonable about UBB, well (like vitamins) it could not hurt and MIGHT help.
So let the lobbying begin ! |

What I would REALLY like to hear him call UBB is BHellShit !
And then after the fact apologize and withdraw the comment, like lawyers do in court in TV crime dramas. |

Links to JF's UBB Submissions . Here's the link to the 'STAY' application which JF filed today with the CRTC (against all UBB-related CRTC decisions beginning with 2010-255, and against Bell's several UBB-related tariff apps) :
»/r0/download/1···tter.pdf
And this link is for his Petition to the GiC to overturn the CRTC UBB decision(s), filed on the 26th :

Please keep any comments about them in this thread SHORT, and put the longer ones in another thread.
BTW, there is a major thread already for the GiC Petition :

Thanks to Jman99 for posting the clip.
As I suspected, it came online at CTV.ca's video archive some time after the broadcast was completed, but your way was easier.
The content of the story was not completely accurate, but close enough on some points, and the mainstream exposure to the problem of 'UBB' is welcome.
Closing remarks were wrong that it "will not affect most people", because so many of us are so close to the edge of where BHell's warped nonlinear version of so-called UBB will kick our ass if we take too long wiping it while some video is streaming in the other room !
That's why BHell brazenly set Ontario's cap at 25 GB, because while they may not hit all of us right away, by any reasonable estimate their so-called UBB will hit most of us not very far down the line. |

»www.theglobeandmail.com/news/tec···1889321/
quote: Liberal industry critic Marc Garneau, who said he will pressure Mr. Clement to throw the decision back to the regulator, said he doesnt buy the large providers arguments about Internet network traffic and congestion.
Theres more and more use, Mr. Garneau said. But to some extent, its also self-serving as well. And in this case, the ruling of the CRTC has gone too much in favour of the arguments presented by the big players.
