    See that's the confusing part. From what I am reading, the CRTC is only ruling in regards to second tier ISPs having to pay more to the primary ISPs. So if I am a little ISP and I buy from Shaw or Bell and resell, I have to pay more back to Shaw or Bell. Basically at only 15% less than consumer rate, so there is not a lot of margin.

    I am seeing little language involving consumers directly. It seems like the big ISPs are using it as an excuse to lower caps on their customers when really the CRTC said nothing of the sort.

    • Right. The CRTC is ruling out competition by forcing small companies to pay large ones outrageous fees. >nb

    • I know. But that shouldn't affect me as a direct Shaw customer. And it is.ETM
