I've got a fiber optic connection and I can easily run through my allotted bandwidth in a week. Even a pathetic 20Mbps connection is more than this backwards country can handle. I don't even have NetFlix.
Need more jobs in Canada? Chop down trees, kill some animals, build a bunch of useless buildings. Meanwhile, the rest of the world heads into the future.
As soon as our natural resources start getting (seriously) depleted, we're toast. Canada has no plan for the future, no hope of keeping pace with a technologically advanced world.

That's what happens when Bell lines the pockets of the CRT, owns the biggest media outlet in canada, causing it all to be hush-hush and pushes for these rules to allow transfer limits.
Bell does not own all the fibers (unfortunate for them) but they can justify pushing these changes by showing bandwidth costs.
All-in-all Canada got fucked in this game. I pay the same as I always did but get LESS now. Sure I have blazing fast speeds but that's all. Nothing to use it on.
Rogers has a 150mbit line now available in many places, but even that has a 150gb/Month limit then up to 25 cents per gig extra.
