Or is it a big scam to allow other internet builders to get in on the bucks and/or for the whole lot to raise prices ? Right now I pay $20/mo (Cdn) unlimited access. I have not upgraded to a high speed service, but it's still fast enough for me. Are increased prices ahead ?

I think those responsible should face the penalty of life imprisonment. They ruined the lives of many people and they may have even brought on early death for some who lost their life savings.
