Follow-up to Post on New Shaw Unlimited Data Plan and UBB Policy

Shaw's announcement of instituting 'reasonable' data caps, without direct overage billing has been somewhat controversial. On the one hand, we are seeing a more rational form of data based billing. On the other we are seeing likely inflated costs for bandwidth being pushed on customers.

Personally, I do not oppose reasonable data usage based billing, but I do oppose significant markups on bandwidth. The existence of a plan that can be truly called 'Shaw Unlimited Internet', is what makes me support the plan.

Its a mixed bag, certainly, but the first chance for truly unlimited broadband internet for home users in Canada is a positive development.
