So that means a customer that was on XL 20 and was getting managed down to 5Mbit as part of the STM policy, is now on 60Mbit and gets managed to 30Mbit.
That is the very reason that I changed my XL 20 to XL 60. Because I use Netflix a lot, I was getting capped quite a bit, and on XL 20, the capped speed of 5meg wasn't fast enough to stream the new 5.8meg Super HD Netflix streams. Now that I'm on 60meg, they can cap me as much as they want, as 30 meg is more than adequate for anything I want to do. Even the 15meg cap of the 30meg service would be fine for me. This is why, for anyone on the 30meg and above service, I can't understand what the big deal is about capping?
