	Depends what level of account you have. I have one of the original Shaw 
accounts. They complain at 120GB and say my limit is 60GB. So much for 
watching streaming video... Other levels of accounts have different
limits.

	There was an article a couple of weeks ago in the Saturday paper where 
MTS said they wouldn't bother people who were "excessive downloaders". 
Shaw shouldn't bother either. I heard third hand both Shaw and MTS are 
paying for the SPEED of their connection not the VOLUME. The last I 
heard there was so much over-capacity here in town, Shaw could handle a 
city three times that of the greater Toronto area with ease.
