Comcast is in the United States, not Canada.

Rogers has no cap. The link you're giving is in error.

Telus is reselling Shaw lines. They too have never billed a person for excessive usage.

Go to www.broadbandreports.com and then go to Canadian broadband. It is a forum I read daily and you'll see cable companies in Canada have no caps. That they are enforcing.
Interesting. Spotted the 5Mbit/640kbit package with the 30GB/mth combined traffic limit - they don't enforce any of this? Seems a bit pointless doing these limits if they aren't enforcing them, though considering ntl: forum I'm not really in a position to comment....

Ouch @ 155GB this month, been a busy one for movies + games?

BTW I know Canada has it pretty good as well as being a lovely place to live in a lot of ways, that's why I'm planning on moving out there in a couple of years, did consider Toronto but Ottawa is the favourite right now. How's the tax burden? Have heard some really bad things about the taxes you pay and bit of research I've done agrees
