lacrotix Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The original statement is here: http://www.telus.com/en/bc/get-help/account-and-billing/understand-your-bill/ffh/usage-based-internet-charges/support.do A brief summary: Starting March 30, 2015, fees will be applied to customers who exceed their Internet plan’s monthly data allowance. The overage charges: If you exceed your monthly usage allowance, we will automatically provide you with additional data buckets of 50GB as needed. Our charges for additional data are among the lowest in Canada: First bucket: $5 Subsequent buckets: $10 Monthly maximum: $75 Any unused portion of your last data bucket will expire at the end of your billing cycle. Your data usage will be reset to zero and your regular monthly usage allowance will apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I always assumed charges were made if you went over your limit, is that not how it was before? $5 for an additional 50GB seems like an excellent deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lockout Casualty Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I hope the bastard that thought of limiting monthly download volume and charging for overages rots in the worst kind of hell. The absolute worst kind. Asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been able to get away with going over your limit, unless you're going over every month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Its coming everywhere... A few companies tried to introduce that in the US. The backlash by customers and the FCC made them back down. I love my unlimited internet! *rubs it into CDC* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Please don't do this to me Shaw. Isn't Shaw doing this as well? Their plans all have a certain amount of GB/Month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-SN- Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Isn't Shaw doing this as well? Their plans all have a certain amount of GB/Month. As far as I know they don't really enforce it unless you're well over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordCanuck Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Its no were near as bad as Explorenet. 5$ every 1 gb after ur cap of 50 gbs. Outrageous when they say u can stream and whatnot and u watch two Netflix episodes a day and ur at ur cap by day 12 of the month. 5$ for 50 gbs aint that bad but id rather they have unlimited plans.

John Tortorella Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 What about the guy that thought up the idea of taxation? Tax is understandable Income tax is originally a war time tax to help finance war. They liked money to much and never dropped it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made my point for me that taxes have funded the means of killing people to this day...hell of a lot more deserving to 'rot in hell' than bandwidth caps...

Chalky Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 You made my point for me that taxes have funded the means of killing people to this day...hell of a lot more deserving to 'rot in hell' than bandwidth caps... Charitable donations from people with good intentions have also funded the means of killing people. I think people who give to charity deserve to rot in hell with income tax collectors and the Telus Exec who enacted bandwidth limit charges.

The biggest use of taxes is actually health care.... but sure. You also live in Canada, where the military budget is tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
