just because you choose to download and pirate 100's of GB's a month of info doesn't mean my grandma does as well.
Grandma would be offered a "Lite" plan if cable operators weren't afraid standard customers would downgrade and they'd lose revenue.
She is on the Lite plan, shaw does offer that (128kbps). I dont mean to say that shaw is right in capping at 50 (I said earlier that a raise would be good) but saying that Shaw is going to go out of buisness because of the 5 to 8% of people that hit 100 GB a month is silly. And 80+% of shaw's internet basis are made up of people that wont go over that cap unless they really try to.
