This will not happen in Canada anytime soon, even when it does, IT WILL NOT BE $13USD per month.

competition is almost non-existent here in Canada

A_XL do you use HKBN? I have been using PCCW for 4 years+ now, and despite them being an absolutely disgusting evil company who constantly tries to rip their customers off, their internet has been totally rock solid 99% of the time.

The service refers to 100mbps UP and DOWN and UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH.

What's Shaw's upload speed for their 100Mbps connection? 5Mbps? 200GB cap?

Embarassing.
