Netflix: ISPs who charge by the gigabyte are ridiculous

Indeed. I moved in with by g/f and soon after that, her Rogers Internet service went up in price and monthly cap got slashed to 60 GB/month. I subscribed to Netflix service for the 30 day free trail, but promptly canceled after I saw the horrid selection and b/w usage. Needless to say, we are switching to Teksavvy since I've been a customer of theirs since 2001

I am on Teksavvy and a Netflix subscriber. I found Netflix catalog to be quite good, it may not have any blockbusters from the past few decades but it has a very good selection of indie, foreign and old movies. Netflix Canada also has good selection of tv series e.g. Mad Men, Topgear etc. Its definitely worth it for monthly price which is half the price of a movie ticket.

I use Teksavvy as well. Slower internet, but no caps (for the time being).

Spoke too soon. With UBB, they are capping it at 25 GB starting in March. :(
