Re: Bell is worst than "the boy that cried wolf" said by I_H8_Spam:said by NoLuckChuck :It's simply unbelievable when a company offers a service with one of the lowest if not the lowest download caps in the world claims congestion. Bell's caps are so low at best browsing the internet and reading email is taking a big chance on overuse fees.
On the lowest tier, simply maintaining windows 7's, AV database updates, itunes, flash, adobe.. poof over cap. Interesting POV and one that should be explored if true. If you are facing potential overages for simple security updates and upgrades, then you have an interesting angle to go after the ISPs who would then be working to reduce overall security as users could stop or significantly curtail updating/upgrading of their security solutions.
This is a valid argument I think and one the CRTC should think carefully about where unintended consequences come into play.
We all know how vigilant most average users are about keeping updated and what is happening here with UBB gives me a great deal of concern regarding the safety of the 'net in general. At the very least, the ISPs should remove security, OS, and product updates from their caps period.

Bell/Rogers lowest tiers, 2gb data xfer per month + $5.00 per rounded GB over. Marketed at the light users.
Now something extra.. Bell bundles a wireless router/modem with all accounts.. the default setup is WEP 128 | |
