The CRTC will directly effect Tekksavy. I don't believe affiliates like Tekk will be able to re-sell unlimited bandwidth.
Its very sad they are doing this, but bandwidth usage is increasing due to Netflix and YouTube among other things. This is why Net Neutrality isn't all its tracked up to be - treat every byte the same, and then they will charge according to simply how many bytes are being used. Hopefully, these companies that may cap bandwidth will get smart and invest heavily into the infrastructure to increase the maximum thresholds. I hope TWC and others don't start doing this in the US :- |
Why should bytes not be treated the same? A byte is a packet of 1s and 0s, that is all. It is how computers translate it that determine otherwise. By saying that one can show favortism, an ISP can then show partiality to their own programming over others. Like Comcast, and others would have a vested interest in blocking Netflix or Hulu, for example. This goes against the nature of what the Internet has been built upon.
