I am not sure what perception there is of Internet in Canada currently, but Netflix just rated our two major Cable providers (Shaw and Rogers) as the top delivery networks for their streaming service in North America.
Right now at the house I pay Shaw $47month CDN for 15mb/1mb and 170gb limit per month. Which is a soft limit that they only enforce when you frequently break it. As far as I know, uploads don't count against that limit. If I wanted to pay more, I can get a 50mb/3mb or a 100mb/5mb plan. The only complaint is that the upload speeds could be better.
But regards to this ruling, I can't imagine a company like Shaw implementing it. Now Telus on the other hand (Telco/DSL service) I could see jumping on it.
- Shaw did implement it. Shaw on Demand is their concern
http://saveournet.ca…Naygon - Shaw charges you as much as Netflix does for 1 movie. They have a stake in this just like Bell and Rogers
