From Reddit:

"So, I have internet from Telus, a Canadian ISP and phone provider. They are a pretty good company, but today just blew me away. My internet is 3.5mb\s down and 1mb\s up, with a 70 gig cap. Lately, I've gone over the cap, and maxed out the connection every night and day with tons of downloads. Movies, Tv, music, games, everything, I download it all. For a while, I've been expecting them to contact me and tell me to cut it out, maybe serve me a notice of legal action if I continue my pirating ways, but the call I got today made me fall in love with them.
The tl;dr of it all is this. They raised my cap to 200 gigs and my down speed to 8mb\s. For free. To 'Better accommodate me needs' as they put it."

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

A new broadband survey out from Strategy Analytics shows the US in 20th position when it comes to household broadband use, well behind countries like South Korea, Singapore, and the Netherlands.

Face it, the only thing worse about Canada is the French.

Some of us speak 5 languages. Very stereotypical comment, just like we think you guys go to work on elephants. =D

That would be so cool.

I think most Americans who can speak more than language are in trouble with the INS, though. ;)
