but list a company (even in the US) that allows full out DL/UL, and to do that as much as you want...
No major DSL provider has such limits. Speaking from 5 years experience with SBC, I can run my 6016/608 connection 24/7 (servers are legal, too) and not see any throttling or receive a "bandwidth hog" nastygram.
Sorry I meant Cable Internet provider, DSL is different because they don't run through the same kind of node system that cable does. In Alberta (and BC I believe) Telus is the DSL provider and they have caps as well (though they don't enforce it strictly) Competition + Demand = Results

My local cable internet provider, GCI, offers unlimited transfer plans. These are actually advertised as unlimited transfer, so if they throttled you, you could probably sue.
