It isn't just about the money, though it is a huge factor.
These companies are protecting their legacy business models - outdated modes of business that are failing and they have no idea what to do. So they've tacked on these insane charges with obscene markup onto their internet services to prevent people from ditching their legacy cable tv services. The profits are a side effect that stokes shareholder value.
This is precisely why Canada ranks so low for internet access and why that will not only continue, but get worse.

You make it sound like they were just following everyone's lead when they were one of the first proponents of the UBB money-grab. |
