EarthLink goes to great lengths to advertise that they provide the best internet access when it comes to using YouTube Netflix and other high bandwidth services, so this seems like nothing more than a money grab.

This cap is discrimination against rural customers. Who does Eastlink think they are telling rural customers what they should be using the internet for. While they advertise that their internet is great for streaming Netflix and other services they're cutting data so you won't be able to use these services. Ridiculous!!! Eastlink: are you wanting customers to switch to a different service provider?? Lots of options out there.

The cap is an insult. The speed is so slow that no one has the time to reach it! Fix the infrastructure.

our service is undependable , much of the time, should be lowering the cost, not raising it, as hasn't met previous promises.

This cap is discriminatory towards rural customers who lack the availability to switch to an alternate provider

This is a poor solution to a lack of bandwidth that goes against the initial mandate of the program.

no cap, I like your service but capping service for rural people is not a good idea and will not do well for your reputation or goodwill

eastlink claim that system was not designed for video may well be true but system also has recommended maximum of 15 users per access point on the towers,Eastlink is putting 30 to 100 per access point.Biggest internet abuser is Eastlink themselves.cap pays them for their abuse

Caps are SO 1999! I can't believe "broadband hog" is a thing. Eastlink, embrace this opportunity to give Bell a boot in the arse and lose the cap!

Canadian telecoms are outrageously expensive compared with the rest of the world. Don't make things worse just because people are baling out of poor quality cable TV.

Always been a loyal Eastlink customer, but may make other choices if a rural wifi cap in instituted.

May have to change providers can't afford them putting a cap on the internet especially if you have kids that are gaming downloading music and watching movies ridiculous

For what we pay for the service it should NOT be capped.
