Yeah, It actually passed (although it wouldn't start till march), but the government is now getting involved to get this overturned.

It's a shame really. Seems everyone is trying to limit the internet. COICA Act trying to censor the internet and now bandwidth capping. I smell NWO.

I like how it wasn't ever a problem that we had 200gig or unlimited caps until now, a time where everything is pushed through the internet, music, tv, movies, games, sex trade...i mean fuck off.

Yeah man, control supply and you create demand, thus jacking up prices and so on...

Re: So. The internet sucks in Canada so much that...
ISPs rip you off no matter where you are. This is just yet another step. They technically have caps in the US too. Read the fine print, there is stuff in there basically about how if you use too much bandwidth (amount at their discretion) they can cut you off for the rest of the billing cycle (typically a month). They don't normally do it, but they can. I know for a fact that this is in Frontier's DSL contracts (yes, their internet access sucks anyway), and Comcast does it as well. I doubt the other providers are any different.
You used to be able to get unlimited data with an iPhone, now you only get it if you were grandfathered in.
Bascially, what Keef said...playing with supply/demand to suck the most money they can out of you.

Side note: this is shafting Netflix and OnLive.
COME ON MAN, WE JUST GOT NETFLIX
P.S.: I used to have an unlimited plan but the speed was "up to 6 mbps" except the highest speed I've ever gotten on that plan was 30Kb/s
Now I have a 60 GB plan that's 5.5 mbps (up to 6 mbps) and costs $70-80
Hitting the halfway mark every 2 weeks because my mom just found out about Skype, and my cousins all have HD webcams.

Newman's right, ISPs all advertise speeds in bips or whatever they're called. Divide by 8 to get the speed in terms of what space on your HDD is. Still doesn't excuse 30kB/s though.

It's a shame how the internet is more heavily regulated in some other places.
