Heavy web downloaders face broadband fees

globeandmail.com: Heavy web downloaders face broadband fees

This infuriates me. The lack of choices in the Canadian market. The lack of a regulatory body that works for the people, not the communications industry.

It’s not the downloading cap, it’s that these companies get to choose the Internet we Canadians get to experience, and it’s not even a matter of “against the law”. Downloading for personal use is still legal in Canada, uploading is another story.

I’ve already had iTunes purchased tracks and podcast downloads broken due to Rogers inability to put in their version of traffic shaping.
