kudos:1 | you dont have optimax so why are you looking at other price plans for something you dont have?
2 different setups/2 different plans. I see no reason for your post.like comparing apples to oranges. |

1 edit | The price plans above is for the service i have (5MB). Compared to what i have, Its a cheaper plan and is subject to a cap on the download.
The point I am trying to make is the following.
Bell has reduced the pricing on it's 5MB service and introduced a cap to new subscribers in Quebec.
At the same time Optimax is coming online with higher prices, higher speeds and no download cap.
I wonder if in the near future current 5M users will be forced to a plan with a download cap. It seems to be a logical business decision for Bell to force those who want unlimited download to pay more for the higher end optimax service.
Still mixing the Apples and oranges?

I have not heard of any caps on high speed regular and high speed ultra in Ontario. I understand Optimax and Unplugged both have download caps. Quebec is a different story as we are hearing all kinds of rumours about new customers being "capped" on regular high speed. We need clarification here as many people are confused...anyone from Quebec that is a new subscriber?
