This isn't accurate. Shaw has recently jumped on the same bandwagon and started enforcing hard caps with overage fees. Just go here if you want to check that:

($2.00/GB for each GB used above plan’s limit)

AFAIK, Telus isn't doing yet, but I've heard that this is a technical limitation rather than lack of desire to do so.

Have you actually gotten a bill from them yet? My bill is the same $47/mo it's been for a while. I don't have a tv.

Interesting. (Terrifying). Canada is now a third world country. Way to go CRTC.
