The days of posting threads like

loving pathetic.

It'd be funny if it weren't already true. I wanted to watch a stream today but since I only have about 5gb left until the 3rd I wanted to find a lower quality option. There wasn't one, so gently caress it I guess I'll be unentertained!

I remember paying about a $100 overage back in the heyday of Napster when I had no concept of acceptable bandwidth use. I never thought I'd see those days again. Thanks CRTC!

There's no comprehensive list of Canadian ISPs by region and what they offer, is there? The only options I know of in Winnipeg are Shaw and MTS and as far as I can tell they're basically the same.

MTS was with the smaller ISPs to fight this change, and I haven't seen anything that states MTS will be switching to UBB yet. If there's info, let me know, because I'm too worried to look. :ohdear:

I emailed them a few days ago asking if they plan to implement UBB and this was the response they gave me

quote:

MTS has discussed the possibility of also implementing a Cap on usage
or downloading, however they have only been discussions. I don't have
any information to provide in which this will change. If we were to
implement such a change, all customers would be notified with a
minimum 30 day notice.

So it's not really conclusive, but seems probable. Hopefully they see a chance to get some more customers and offer something like a 100gb cap to Shaw's 60.

It's just so frustrating that we are being completely hosed over and nobody else either gives a poo poo or even knows about it.
