you still haven't answer my question yet dangonay why SHAW all of a sudden decrease everyone package bandwidth by 25GB (expect lite) and the right away charge people who went over their bandwidth. Is it really what they claim to be or is it a cash grab for them? O and also how come SHAW ONLY have the option to buy more bandwidth? How come they don't allow user to reduce their speed for the month if they do go over their montly limit? NOVUS can do it so why can't SHAW? Is SHAW's system that crappy and the useless?

As far as I know Bandwidth cost SHAW no more than 5cents a GB from their upstream provider. I work in the industry so I know exactly those prices are. If I have my guess right you do work for SHAW don't you?

A 2hour HD movie on Netflix is about 4 to 6GB so with SHAW's limit that's about 16 to 25movies. Now combie that with say youtube HD, some BT and some PBS you can easily reach their cap.

Even my mom who knows nothing about Internet uses PBS to watch her TV shows. Is fast easy and she gets the newest stuff right away VS waiting for 1+ year for SHAW/ Fairchild to put the show on. Not to mention she can watch it anytime she likes and she can go and watch old TV shows as well.

O and answer my question this time with a really answer that makes sense instead of going around in circles and avoiding it.
