I don't think Telus is being "shady" at all. They haven't cut bandwidth for home internet service, those who abuse Internet with illegal downloads are most likely the ones who will be paying for overages...
Fact is, they still have the highest caps in Canada. Shaw will soon follow suit and enforce their caps, just like they announced in 2012 (alongside telus, bell, rogers, cogeco, etc, etc etc)
I think a better idea would be to have one or the other; charge for speed or bandwidth, not both.
Well when you factor in modem cost ($150), dry loop fees ($6.9-26.84/mth recurring) and activation fee ($75) it isn't much cheaper from Tekksavvy.
@Tekksavvy - Let's say you get the $54.99 Unlimited plan (25Mbps) and you live in BC Band G area ($26.84), you will end up paying $81.83+tax each month.
@TELUS, with their unlimited add-on on the 25Mbps plan, you will pay $98/month. They also include the modem and wifi extender for free. If you can stay within your 250gb limit however (like 75% of their customer based), you will only pay $63/mth. That seems like a way better deal to me @dacimvrl
