Are you kidding me OP? I run off of 4G (cell phone internet for you less tech-savy people) and my limit is 10GB per month, and I never go over. I would hardly be complaining about 65GB if I were you.

If you didn't know already about the fixed internet bandwidth limit on Canadian residents. It means every Canada household has a certain bandwidth limit depending on their internet package. If you want more then you must get a more expensive internet package. It's retarded. For example, let's say you have an average internet package that offers 10 mpbs, well you would have like a 65 GB bandwidth per month that you can't go over. If you do go over, you must be a fee of $2/per GB for each GB you go over.

I don't mind really as I don't hardcore download nor watch HD videos. However, I do have to keep a eye on the bandwidth often. But the real question is ,why does Canada have to suffer while USA residents get UNLIMITED bandwidth? It doesn't even make any sense. There's more people in USA then in Canada. So if anything, USA should get a bandwidth limit.

so wtf?

That'd suck for gaming.. Yet our limits are much higher.. and thus.. we never go over them. I think mine is 500gigs?

Not really. Gaming for me usually is around 20-40Kbits/sec. So that's around 13MB/hour. That's not very much.
