I was going to vote for Cons but seeing how they are doing nothing about this whole UBB thing I am thinking of voting the NDP.

Internet means a lot to me. My parents watches Chinese TV shows on PPS since the chinese show here is crap and is like 2years old. Also with PPS they can watch it anytime they like. My sister also download moves and songs online and I like to download movies, PPS and Netflix. Also we feed wireless to the tenates downstairs. Really 100GB isn't going to cut it.

We are paying way too much for Internet service in Canada. It cost 1.8cents per GB from these huge IPS to transfer the data to you.

Also data is always being transfer once the network is built it will always be there. Think of the Highways are the networks and cars are data. The Highways are always there regardless if there is only 1 car using or 10 cars are using it it will ALWAYS BE THERE. So SHAW, Telus, Bell saying they need to charge more because some people use too much data is dumb and stupid.

If all these IPS agure they need the the extra money to build their network is dumb as well. LAST YEAR SHAW have a over 46% pore profit so if you paid them $100 $46 is profit for them.
