But in most of the services areas where you can get Bell or Rogers, you can get one of the 3rd party providers like Start or Teksavvy. These providers have an unmetered upstream cap and very generous downstream caps.

A download cap of 300Gb on a 150Mpbs link is hardly generous, which is what Teksavvy offers in Ontario.

It's a joke. And the only reason is to make you pay for the more expensive connection. Maybe also to hand you additional charges.
