Bells side of the story, is that high volume users like customers downloading files using bittorrent are slowing its networks and its solution is if you use more bandwidth downloading movies, games etc you'll have to pay more. This is all fine and dandy for illegal movies and the like but what about the several legal high bandwidth applications like Steam or youtube? are they trying to send us back to the days when all we used the net for was email!?
For anyone thinking "oh I only use my internet for email anyways, so my bill should be lower right?" no that wont happen would Bell ever do anything to put itself into a position where it would be making less money? I doubt it. Rates for minimal users will be the same and for the majority they will be higher.
I guess severely screwing Canadians for the cellphones wasn't enough, now they want to do it to us again with our internet.
