It's a completely new pricing model, imposed on a public that for the most part has no idea what a gigabyte even is, just as streaming HD video begins to soar. Average broadband usage is still just south of 15GB/mo, so the vast majority of folks aren't going to see any impact on their bill whatsoever. The move isn't about the users of today, as I imagine you know.

This just makes the outcry about lacking evidence of congestion today even more ridiculous. Usage today is too low to trigger any of these extra fees, and is also low enough to avoid causing major contention for bandwidth.

The pricing isn't about congestion, it's about protecting revenues in the face of Internet video and the death of the voice minute, which I already stated. Usage today is too low to trigger any of these extra fees I'm sure Canadians will be interested to learn this from you, as will AT&T DSL users who enjoy HD video.
