It is bad. We never started with caps in Canada so we're losing a lot.

In australia you get ripped so badly for broadband it is not funny.

This affects not only consumers, but also the whole tech ecosystem.. For example business models that rely on unmetered internet (think netflix, or offsite backup).

It also affects people like me who have to host services in Canada (for regulatory and/or data security reasons). If I get nailed on wholesale bandwidth, I have to pass that cost onto my customers.

This ruling appeared out of the blue.. Without much time to prepare contigencies.
