TekSavvy Reintroduces Unlimited, Bumps Caps
'We Are Extending The Savings On To You, The Clients...'
On the heels of the Canadian government's decision to force the CRTC to review their throttling practices, ISPs like Primus have frozen their metered billing plans completely, while companies like Shaw have promised to work with consumers on fair pricing before moving forward. In a letters to customers posted to our forums, Canadian ISP TekSavvy says that in the wake of the CRTC's forced retreat, the company is re-instating their unlimited usage plan -- and the cap on their 200GB package is being raised to 300GB. Says the company's letter:
quote:
congratulations to all who've spoken up about this issue, you've made a huge difference. As a Canadian, today, I can honestly say it's refreshing to know politicians do listen and will affect change when the public at large shows concern! Effective March 1st we are going to move forward and make changes to the Usage, but we're going to make it a positive one! We are reinstating the Unlimited package but the 200GB package will be changed... to 300GB! UBB is about Internet Costs, and as a result of lower costs with our providers (Peer1, Lime Light, etc...), costs outside our relationship with companies like Bell, we are extending the savings on to you, the clients...
The debate certainly isn't over for Canadians. Bell's political influence runs deep, and many believe the CRTC's review of their UBB plans could be a hollow affair.

The American People & The Canadian People..

The great thing about the Internet is that it's borderless. When you're on the Internet, you're not an American, or a Canadian, or a Spanish, or Italian, or even an Egyptian - you're an Internet user.

And as Internet users we must work together to ensure that we all have unrestricted and open Internet access.

I believe the American and Canadian citizens should work together to ensure that both our countries move forward in a way that provides us with unrestricted and open access to the Internet. The actions that the FTC takes in the United States can directly affect decisions the CRTC makes in Canada, and vice versa.

In other words: We, as Americans, must carefully watch what is unfolding in Canada, and make sure that we are not lead down a similiar path (despite we're already on the path).
