Bell's counterpart are just mirroring Bell's policy, so that's not going to offer any competition in a duopoly.

Usage quota is just like Limbo Dance for them...

A global Internet industry forecast released Tuesday contains a subtle message for the many Canadian Internet subscribers who’ve been billed “overage” fees after they unwittingly exceeded their monthly data allotment — get used to it.

Canadian providers generally sell plans with lower bandwidth caps than their American peers, which drove percentage revenue gains higher here last year and widened a gap that has opened between Internet plans in the two countries, according to a new study from PwC.

And it is a trend expected to continue.

Will only get worse until we're capped at wireless data levels and on a per MB billed usage while still paying higher monthly premiums than our neighbours down south.
