If they say they can offer say 15mb/s download then I should expect 15mb/s all day not what's happening now. Where during busy time the speed goes down to 7mbs/s. Rather than upgrading their hardware to provide better service they rather bill customer so no one is going over their limit.
You ever stop to consider that you're the problem (or someone like you downloading far more than they need)? Shaw networks have no trouble keeping up with normal demands (including streaming HD content) to all their customers. Same with Telus, or their Optik service couldn't work.

Anything like what? Complain to a company selling a commodity that you should get unlimited use (or very high limits) without paying anymore than the next guy?

Why not tell your cell phone company that even though you signed up to 500 minutes per month, that if you go over you shouldn't be charged? Or tell BC Hydro that you should be able to use unlimited electricity without getting charged?


If you need more bandwidth than your neighbor, then you should pay more. Shaw and Telus have always had bandwidth caps - they just never really enforced them until now. Why are you complaining? You knew Shaw had a limit - did you think you could get away with going over forever?
