Won't affect your average consumers, yet there is still a large population that will get hit, but it may not be significant enough for them to care.
I do not see them caring, not even if most of the 'hardcore' users switch to telus, because they will still have the support of the 'light' users, who are people who merely use the internet for information and communication.
With that said, I am quite displeased that they will start capping at 60gb for normal highspeed. I predict university networks will be more congested from more people downloading while on campus. Time to start looking for unsecure networks around me.

I agree that if Shaw were reducing the data caps on their plans without reducing prices, that would be a pretty bullshit dick move.
That being said, I'm on the regular High Speed plan and I've known that since the day I signed up for the service that my "Cap" was 60GB.
What I WANT is no monthly fee, no plan, no "Cap", just a CRTC regulated rate for all ISP's per GB. Make it like another base utility into the house.
