Are we fucked?

OMFG WTF????

If I understood that right... so Bell Canada have a monopoly on the networks to people's houses and the government has granted them the right to charge everyone for the gigabytes, like a private tax on the whole population. lol is there no monopolies commission or something??

feels more like theyre trying to rally support from media, television and software companies who are plagued with the whole piracy problem - unfortunately for us this is the only way they can reduce and minimize piracy

I feel. So. Fucking. Helpless. What the fuck do we do. What the fuck can we do. God fucking damn it. I fucking hate it when people mess with my Internet, fuck you Canada!! And that's from the heart!

25GB+

Here's the "good" news: TekSavvy users can now buy "insurance," defined as "a recurring subscription fee that provides you with additional monthly usage." For Ontario it's $4.75 for 40GB of additional data (sorry, but the unused data can't be forwarded to the next month). So it looks like you get at least 65GB per month for like $35.00 which isn't too bad. Most of us probably use more than that. Especially people with families. I kind of see this being repealed before it hits the market. I'm curious how this will affect Rogers $100 internet plans with 125GB per month.

Where once TekSavvy consumers could purchase High Speed Internet Premium at a monthly base usage of 200GB for $31.95 a month, now they can get about half of that data (if they buy two units of insurance) at $41.45 a month. Looks like you can buy the insurance more than once too. So you can get like 105GB for $40 which is still less than half the price it costs to get that from Rogers at the highest speed.

The $5.00 "Insurance" loophole to add 40 gigs every time you hit your cap saves you from the $2.00 per gig or w/e that bs was.

HOLY shit that sucks

AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast tried to get something like this in the US. Luckily the FCC actually stood up for the people for once and squashed it.
