Comcast targets Internet `abusers' but won't reveal limits
Matthew Fordahl, The Associated Press 2004-01-29

By all accounts, George Nussbaum demands a lot from his Internet connection. He streams video and transfers large files from his office. His family downloads movie trailers and his stepson listens to and buys music online.

Well cable connections in canada are on average 10mbit connections (the theoretical limit of the modem and a speed easily achievable on some MSOs.) The average charge on this type of connection is about $45 CDN.

If you went to a company like big pipe or sprint or bell nexia and requested a 10 mbit connection so you can download as much as you want, their stocks will rise at least 20% because of you!
