Here in manitoba there's no Bell or Rogers Cable, instead we have MTS - to whom I switched after Shaw (cableco) kept cutting me off after 60 gigs - not a cap, just two or three weeks into the month my internet stops working until I call them and they whine at me. With MTS they don't care how much I use the service, as "Unlimited" actually means that with them. In fact, Shaw has subsequently REMOVED the term unlimited from their advertising.
As far as infrastructure upgrading goes, if your cable/telco isn't doing *constant* equipment upgrades, what the hell is wrong with them? I've never heard of a technology/network driven company that didn't have to do constant upgrades. In the three years I've had MTS they have already upgraded my speed for free from 5 to 7 mbit - actually they made 7mbit the baseline and now I can get 15mbit dsl.
I think this is all just a cash grab, typical corporate behavior. Claim your costs are going up - despite the fact that bandwidth gets cheaper over time - and gouge the customer.
