interesting, especially considering i went out for half-priced sushi last night, ate some, and had the leftovers literally about an hour ago. that included both ala carte tuna and a spicy tuna roll fwiw. odds of me dying within 24 hours? | |

Nice places should be able to handle it safely though and there are a ton of such restaurants in Van. I don't think boost is suggesting tuna sushi is a no-no in all circumstances. Any place combining words meaning "discount" and "sushi" is pretty much a horrible idea though, as are leftovers. | |

I don't know what this tuna-mayo thing is? Google tells me its just mayo and canned tuna + garnishes? | |

my wife would kill me for posting this, but the whole tuna thing may explain why her farts yesterday could peel the paint off of walls...she made the whole tuna/mayo concoction 2-3 days ago, ate the leftovers either the night before or yesterday morning, and BLAMO, literally. Stomach didn't hurt just had god awful gas that I do not want to smell ever again. | |

godddammit the kids have tomorrow off, but teachers have to go to school for a "professional development" day. FML, I hate those days with a passion, I'd much rather have 20-25 kids in my class and try to teach them shit. I guess this is a way to not add an extra day onto the school year, but still, I'd rather sit on my ass with my wife/kid and not do a damn thing if I don't want to. buy now, pay later, I'm all for that. | |

The bacon was salted and smoked. The process of curing meat is so that you don't have to worry about Germs. Bacon is a "mostly cured" product. | |

Salmon should be fine I guess... I mean the idea of left over sushi just kinda grosses me out. Unless its a vegi roll, I'd just practice avoidance tbh. | |

Also, I would think most of the cost comes from setting up the infrastructure to transfer the bandwidth. Once the system is online, wouldn't most of the cost of providing bandwidth be drastically reduced? | |

I'm using Shaw high-speed internet, and I checked to see what the details of my account are. Apparently I get 60gb of usage per month, and the last 3 months I have averaged only 22gb or so. I'm on the computer all the time, and I download a new season of something every week almost. I am fine with the way it is. | |

Comparing bandwidth and data transfer to electricity or water is making a false equivalency. Electricity and water are finite resources with significant costs of production attached, whereas bandwith is not and does not, after infrastructure costs and the marginal cost of electricity to run the hardware. The cost of data transfer is estimated to be 0.01-0.03 cents per GB at most. What you are actually paying for is the aforementioned infrastructure. | |

This is clear and sure, competition would be more beneficial as a downward pressure on price, for me, for everyone. The point is that pay for usage has been clearly accepted on other products and services but when it comes to the Intarweb, 99% of those in this discussion are all OMG, I needz my limitless streaming HD. I don't get that. It's irrational. I think it's a self-serving and unrealistic attitude in a capitalist environment. The cost or value of those services is not in debate. The exception of Internet bandwidth from the pay-per-use paradigm IS. | |

You're missing the point of the whole debate (as most Canadians are, actually). The pay-for-use model per se is not in question. Most direct Rogers and Bell customers are going to continue under the current usage-based-billing regime. What is causing the outrage is that the incumbent telcos and cable companies are imposing their own pricing structure on the smaller ISPs who are supposed to be their competition, which the incumbents are mandated by law to give access to their networks, precisely because the regulator saw the need to encourage competition in the marketplace back when. At the same time, they are drastically lowering their caps in order to raise a barrier to entry to services like Netflix because otherwise their TV subscriber revenue will be seriously eroded. They say its about managing traffic, but that is complete and utter bullshit (there are numerous sources to document that, and I'm not going to do all your work for you). At its core, this is a debate about anti-competitive actions and a duopoly (cable incumbent/telco incumbent) flexing its muscles and openly colluding with the blessings of an incompetent regulator to keep competition out and prices high. | |

Exactly on the last part. Yours is really not the common view on this issue. It's certainly an important part of the competition debate but the watercooler reaction has been the "OMG capping me" argument, even from customers who have been operating under a cap for months or years, and the superficial reaction is what I really have been finding irrational. This is especially true for those who want to use unlimited broadband in order to ditch cable or satellite. Where they once paid $50/month for cable and $30/month for broadband, they think it's insane that they shouldn't be able to now pay $30/month for both services or $38/month for broadband and Netflix. | |

I used to pay $200 to get 512 Kbps (uncapped, yay) back in '04. If I'd still have to pay the same amount while all neighboring countries/cities/people around me would pay like $80 for 16 Mbps (32 times more speed), I'd be beyond pissed. I paid for Infrastructure upgrades just as everyone else have been, because that's part of the natural operating expense of any given company (that has competition). At some point after all that paying, I'd expect to remain on level with at least some countries around me, or elsewhere in the world. | |

Jack, I'm not sure how this from your quoted portion supports your argument. It's a great idea and means you'd pay more considering your usage. I'd be all for it. | |
