Beware of the Upgrade Trojan Horse

Bell is sneakily converting high-speed unlimited Internet users into a "Total Internet" plan that has a 60GB/month bandwidth cap.

I got a call from a Bell telemarketer offering me double the speeds at around the same price. Sounded a little too good to be true, but why not... Then as he started going through the conditions and the cap word appeared, alarm bells went crazy. He tried to comfort me by saying that I could buy "insurance" to get an extra 30GB for an additional ten bucks. Once I realized that this deal was a wolf in sheep's clothing, I nixed it right away.

It might be time to revisit the Canadian ISP directory again and see what other options there are.
