Interesting. I quite zip.ca because I didn't like feeling compelled to watch whichever random DVD they sent me, but Netflix's streaming option may be something I can get behind.

Yeah, this sounds good (although I'm still subscribed to zip), but I'm just waiting for Rogers/Bell/Shaw/etc to introduce some strict bandwidth caps in response.

It'll happen.

Oh yeah, I just remembered the bloody 60 GB cap Rogers puts on my monthly bandwidth...

And you probably pay more than other countries would (and get less). Canada gets fucked over by our telecom/internet/tv industry.

Hopefully a big new player will enter the telecom industry up here in the near future, and shake things up a bit.

Well, that didn't take long...

Honestly, IPTV is dead in Canada because of the ISPs.
