I don't understand why people get bent out of shape when they're asked to pay for what they use. If you can't afford the bandwidth, perhaps you shouldn't use Netflix. Really. If you can't afford fuel would you try to drive cross-country for a vacation?

The problem is the heavy users are already being covered by current charges. They have admitted that the overage charges that are in place now are nothing but pure profit for them.
I don't understand why people are so willing to bend over and spread their ass cheeks far apart for no other reason than to increase the already huge profits for corporations that basically have a monopoly.
This has nothing to do with out of control expenses for the ISP's or even network congestion caused by torrents. Bell already throttles torrent traffic down to about 20 kb during peak hours.
This has to do with them trying to control how we access digital content and them trying to force competitors out of business to keep their monopolies in place. And the CRTC trying in vain to hold onto their antiquated minimum "Canadian content" rules.
But hey, let's just open our wallets and keep paying more.
