Add monthly caps?

Since download caps are very low in Canada (30GB combined upload+download for Videotron 7.5 Mbps), I think it would be important to add them to the table. Comparing speed is almost worthless without the cap. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zorxd (talk • contribs) 19:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More information needed

There should be at least some mention of the throttling situation in Canada, including regulation (CRTC). And as mentioned, the bandwidth limitation of some ISPs. Throttling and bandwidth cap are paramount issues in Canadian Internet. Tony0964 (talk) 00:30, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broadband offerings

The table only has columns for "Basic", "Standard", "Pro", and "Extreme" - yet there can be many more offerings from the ISPs, each with different product names. Since it is impossible to have a table that includes every single product, may be we should just cut it down to include the min & max offerings from each ISP??

EastLink's basic package

As noted in my last revert - All Maritime region pages give no specific speed for the basic package. They do state "5x faster than dial up", which would put it at 256kbps. I couldn't find claims of 1.5mbps anywhere except under Wireless broadband, which is not their 'basic' package. For Ontario, it's less clear because of the different infrastructure that was taken over by EastLink. This page states that their 'casual package' is 256k. - Jonathon A H (talk) 06:12, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

EastLink's listing

Since EastLink are listed as purely cable service in the comparison table, their rural canopy wireless service shouldn't be listed as minimum. I've updated the table to fix this, as their cable minimum in most areas is 20/1 with no UBB. --208.114.148.169 (talk) 23:08, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
