    Every bit counts with how insane their overage fees are, hell, they'll probably start creating GreaseMonkey scripts to strip images from websites to view purely text versions.

    "Ha! Newegg has 2TB drives for US$100. That's five cents per gigabyte. Round trip flights between Vancouver and Montreal cost $2000. I could buy two drives, fill one, fly from one end of the country to the other, deliver the data, let my buddy fill the other one, and then fly back - twelve hours of flying in all, but let's be cautious and say the whole ordeal takes twenty-four.

    It works out to a $1.10 per gigabyte at 185 Mbps, and I get to say hello to my buddy. What the fuck, Bell?"

    Now when Canadians spite us with their free health care we can just boast about how awesome our unlimited bandwidth is.

    I'm still ok on Telus, I just need to get the fastest speed to prevent paying the upper tier. At the moment I'm paying $22CAD for 15/1 unlimited traffic. Soon to be 25/3 for $30, unlimited traffic.

    What's a "Canadia"?

    Its a country right above MURIKA and below Mexico. Main exports are hockey players, maple syrup and cheap prescription medication. Its GDP is roughly around 2 dollars (Canadian). Its also home to one of the most impressive transportation networks in the world, which includes one road and a river. The only downside to Canadia is that it has only one TV station.

    LOL I'm paying about $35/month for unlimited high speed internet. For new customers it is only $18/month which was nice. Limited internet sucks.
