said by Darhole:What kind of third world dictatorship bullshit is it if we have to live in a country where we have to ask ourselves 'can I download this game/movie/netflix/ETC'
If this is true and they charge me for using less than a TB a month on the 50mbit plan, I will lose my shit.
This is an heated issue. I just have to say that only a very small minority of our users are abusing their internet connection to some ridiculous amount of TB downloaded every month but they do ruin it for the rest. Its not a dictatorship at all. You are paying for a service. That company offering the service as the right to set the rules. It up to you to decided whether you want to follow them or not.
There is no certainty, even internally, of when or even if this will be in effect. TELUS has to make sure that if they charged for extra bandwidth that our counter are working right in the first place. I wouldn't worry too much at this moment but things can change.
