Get that Catholic Terrorists face off the fucking video

@CrewRite Sure you can ;) ... You just need to come to the ISP with a rent contract and your id.

Sweet can Americans (US/Canada) buy that service?

Some parts of CBC are online or by signal. All it would take is a TV transmitter pirate or a online hacker.

break into the CBC and play this video over their network

I have rec'd responses in my inbox to this thread today....I have not posted anything to this thread for some time and have no wish to get back into this argument. Please do not send any more replies to me. I have had my say like everyone else on this thread and am finished, thank you.

@robbcarson Why should our internet fees be paying for their cell phone networks? Why should I have to pay more for an independent ISP to support Rogers expansion?
-
@robbcarson Robb why are you pretending bandwidth is a finite resource? If it's not used, then it's wasted. People who use more data aren't put ahead of the line, if there are demands from other computers, our data is put on hold.

Government Orders CRTC To Reverse Bandwidth Decisionby thehillwatcher792 views
So I don't have to keep coming back to argue proxy arguments to the greater point...
Seriously guys, all the points FOR UBB fall apart at every level. Providers are continually adding contradicting reasons for these policies. It's about money. Let's face it.
At the end of the day. At the end of all the math and the BS and stubborn opinions, UBB will simply cost consumers more and it will harm the competition that want to offer you better prices. It won't compensate under-usage. That's it.

Your assertion that "UBB packages forcefully offer less and charge more" is unfounded. Billing is based as follows: everyone starts at $X and receives the same minimum Y bandwidth and a basic speed. If you want more speed you pay $XX and you get YY bandwidth with a new, higher limit. You can go higher and pay $XXX and get YYY bandwidth. If you pay $X BUT use YYY bandwidth, why should someone else who pays $X and uses Y bandwidth be charged the same as you? You used extra bandwidth, you pay more.

@robbcarson
No sir, my assertion is based on what I currently receive. I use 700-1000GB per month and I pay $60 a month. If UBB was enacted under the plan my provider initially proposed my bill would be $400+ a month. You're implying that my usage has a financial impact on my fellow users, when it doesn't. I still use the internet at peak times, and as they adapt to using more net-based services, the pricing plans in place will cost them as well. All UBB does is cost people more in the end.
