Even though the federal government appears poised to repeal a CRTC decision that could cause Canadians to lose their unlimited access Internet plans, North Coast residents could be losing theirs even if it is repealed.
CityWest, Prince Rupert’s only Internet service provider (ISP) says that it plans to introduce usage billing in March, unless the federal government expressly forbids ISPs from doing so.

I work at Citywest in their traffic shaping division and the NO YOU MAY NOT youtube videos and their derivatives make up 75% of the content being streamed from the pipe between Terrace and here. Jack is just shutting down our voice! Lets go full Tahrir on him!!!
CityWest is supposed to make money. Why would it hold off on implementing usage billing just because the Tories are asking for the decision to be reconsidered. If it turns out the decision is upheld, I predict we’ll all be back here criticizing CityWest for being behind the times and not making extra money as early as they could have.
