I'm don't have the anti-piracy hard-on that Dangonay does, but my bill would still go down significantly if I only had to pay for the bandwidth I used.
And if I did decide to use netflix or play Wow in the future, I would be fine with my bill going up because I'm using a service, it takes more bandwidth, and I know that.
Right now a good analogy to your complaint is like you're plugging in a couple of electric space heaters and then complaining to BC Hydro that your power bill went up.

Then let me ask you this" Why do SHAW LOWERED everyone bandwidth by a good 25GB and then start the meter billing? Care to explain that in details. They could simply just start billing people for oeverueage but NOOOOOOOOO they have to go lower your monthly bandwidth first.
Not to mention SHAW's uesage page is full of carp and inaccurate that even the SHAW rep themselves tell customer to ingore. When I look at my own uesage report there are days when it saids I used over 100GB in a day and sometimes it shows I 0 uesage for a few days when I fully know that is not true.
So how cna SHAW bill us for something this inaccurate? Not to mention SHAW's ONLY option for going over your monthly is to bill you, how come I can't say chose to have my speed lowered and any overueagfe is free, at least that's what NOVUS is doing. They allow customer to chose to decide if they want to buy more uesage or simply reduce their speed. What can't SHAW do something like that? I can tell you why, coz they want to take as much money from you as they can.
