"All usage incurred by the ISP's end-user will be measured and billed on a monthly basis, up to a maximum usage charge of $22.50 per month. The charges for Residence GAS usage above the monthly allowance will be $1.875 for up to 512 Kbps Residence, $1.50 for up to 2 Mbps Residence and $1.125 for up to 5 Mbps Residence on each full or partial GB of usage beyond the monthly allowance. These represent a discount as compared to the corresponding retail Internet price levels."



"Further, to ensure that the Companies facilities are available to all end-users in a fair and proportionate manner in accordance with the Companies Acceptable Use Policies (AUP), the Companies are proposing to introduce an Excessive Usage Charge applicable to GAS users who use more than 300 GB of bandwidth per month. However, given that a corresponding rate is not in place, at this time, for the Companies retail Internet access services, the Companies are proposing only to implement such a charge co-incident with the introduction of a comparable retail charge. Specifically, a charge of $0.75 per additional GB in excess of 300 GB of monthly usage will be implemented for wholesale GAS end-users if and when the Companies introduce a corresponding $1.00 charge per GB in excess of 300 GB for retail end-users who are on the Companies usage-based billing plans (such a charge would not be applied to those retail customers who remain on flat-rated Internet services contracts).

Table 4 So bell wants to change the GAS tariff to include UBB but doesn't want to offer speeds greater than 5 mbit...

What they're saying is that for anyone that uses between 80 and 300 gig, the new monthly wholesale cost is going to be $45.00. They have this opinion that the bandwidth Rocky can buy from Peer1 at $0.10 per gig is somehow worth $1.125 when you stick "BELL" on it.

bold added by me.



Clearly charging us more and limiting competition at the same time is, in-fact creating a highly competitive marketplace and benefits end-users. I'm glad bell took the time to point that out to me.



It sounds like the maximum charge is only good upto 300gb but they aren't ready to implement the excess use penalty until it's there for sympatico too. I particularly like this line:bold added by me.Clearly charging us more and limiting competition at the same time is, in-fact creating a highly competitive marketplace and benefits end-users.

Revelstoke, BC 1 edit otty Member It appears that if you use 80-300GB/month it will now cost ~$60/month (dryloop).

EDIT: that's assuming Teksavvy doesn't tack on something for their bandwidth costs.

I really hope the CRTC is not dense enough to approve this ridiculous tariff, not only ridiculous but then wholesale no longer means wholesale.

What a fookin crock this is.They just come out and say were not filing what were supposed too but we will file this shit instead. Exactly. They quote the CRTC's order to propose a tariff for the higher speeds and proceed to ignore the order and file a completely unrelated tariff. The CRTC is being made to look like a fool and Bell is disrespecting their decision. Fines are in order and ignoring this uncalled for application!

EDIT: No grandfathering. Here they are only talking about "excessive use charges" and only in application to the "the companie's plans" where "the company" is Bell.

(f) Uncorrelated Usage Charge: In cases where the Company's records can not correlate a domain name to a valid billing telephone number for a given session, the Company will, on a monthly basis, issue a bulk bill to the service provider for that usage. A rate of $1.875 per gigabytes (GB) or portion thereof applies. This charge will be in addition to all other applicable rates and charges The only way they can possibility track that is with DPI. Another issue to bring up with the privacy commissioner.The only way they can possibility track that is with DPI.

so let's see, my bill now went from about $42/month to about $67/month or about a 60% increase. And to make it worse, it's more money going straight to Bell. I still get EXACTLY the same service.
