I use shaw and they called me awhile ago. I'm capped at 60gb now and I used about 200gb and 250gb for the past two months.

Well, no more countless hours on nico douga for me and I got to get my anime from somewhere else.

Feels horrible man. At least I got a bunch of unplayed VN's saved up.

Canadian here. Have had capped ISPs here in Ontario for many years now. Solution? Go to one of the dozens and dozens of other ISPs available that do not cap and won't cap even if this passes.

In Canada, any telecommunications company is forced to lease the physical lines they own in the ground for use to other companies so they do not create a monopoly. This means we have hundreds and hundreds of ISPs available here. Google around, open your Yellow Pages and I guarantee you'll probably find one unless you live in Yukon or something crazy.

Canadafag here as well, this is bullshit. Luckily for me, my isp is not limiting internet. Wait a month or two and everyone will rage and it will be over.

Yeah but guess what (since I dont think you read the article)... the indie ISPs only get a 15% discount which barely covers their services.

Plus some ISPs can, and are implementing a cap.

Rogers has had a bandwidth limit for at least a year or two now with ridiculous overage fees.

This is the reality of democracy. Nobody cares, and our freedoms can be subverted by any government or corporation if they do it slowly and quietly enough.

>>7026670
Like I have said, Im pretty sure this whole thing was stopped. I guess I am wrong though. Either way, most people don't understand what is happening but once they see their bills they will freak out at the ISPs. This kind of stuff is ruining any online service really, for most people no more hours of youtube, netflix, pirating (yes every Canadian does since our goverment only cares if you upload)
>>7026697
Yeah but it isn't as ridiculous as they are trying to make it be. With rogers and bell you can easily get more bandwidth, I know someone with two lines of internet bell through phone, rogers through (coaxial I think) and has over 700GB+ of bandwidth, which he always uses up every month. Think how much it would cost if he had to pay $2 a GB, he isn't on an indie ISP so I guess he wont be as buttdevistated as others.

Uh, the CRTC bill for usage metering was already put into limbo through petitioning, angry phone calls, and democracy. Might want to check 'dem news dates.

Hell, as soon as it was crushed, Tecsavvy went and announced all their customers were getting +100 free GB on their plans, just to step on Bells' balls.

>>7026763
Yeah they have caps but their caps can be more reasonable, depending on the plan you have. You can have a couple hundred GBs. The whole 25GB enough for a family for a month is total bullshit, and at $2 per GB extra, it would be cheaper to buy games on disk then via steam.

not surprisingly, /jp/ canadians is full of uneducated dumb fucks.

Tony Clement (or you could say the government) has ordered CRTC to review the decision dating back in February. That means ISPs cannot impose UBB on wholesalers and ISPs won't be able to impose ridiculously low caps and overusage charge to their customers.

Get off your butts and start boycotting Bell/Rogers. They are responsible for wanting regulate internet usage.

Buy a laptop and a strong wireless network card.

Go on a journey around your local town and hack into some routers. Download all the VNs and anime you like and enjoy all the internet you can handle.

Come home. Play the games you downloaded.

Crisis averted.

Downloading a VN at 100kb/s? Might as well go to a Starbucks and use the wifi there, at least you can have a coffee waiting.

Ideally this is not the way to go. Once everyone knows about this sort of gouging people will be more careful with their internet. This will greatly affect business as well harsher consequences could appear.
