Wow, that's some pretty pathetic caps, at least the basic and basic lite. Even the High Speed & Ultra packages are pathetic, but unless you're a movie or music downloader, you might slide in under the caps. Then again, if you're paying for that package, chances are you do download music and video, so there goes that argument.

$10/GB for over use? Are they crazy?
They just want to promote customer loyalty. With caps like that, who needs crooks to steal your money.

It just me, or don't caps defeat the purpose of having different tiers?

Ok this is why I moved from Sympatico to teksavvy.com . They don't take their customers as cash cows!

I get a cap of 100GB for a 30$ monthly fee with NO contract. The best part is I don't have to deal with their scripted tech support, their error prone billing system and I don't have to get harassed every time I call a customer service by being systematically up-saled to something I don't need.

A few months ago the CEO of Bell made a public announcement where he implied (or openly declared, I'm not sure) that certain accounts that generate small or no revenues would not be maintained by bell. This is just the implementation of his thoughts... "make them pay more, cause we must make more money". Disgusting!

@execulink.com		 Technically all businesses treat their customers as cash cows. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that. The whole point of running a business is to make money. What they're proposing is to suck the cow dry and cut back on the feed.
