Most Canadian ISPs have combined Up/Down Bandwidth Caps, which are already insanely easy to hit with any sort of media streaming (they usually range from 40-80 GB/mo). Peering any of these services is only going to make matters worse.

The caps are really limiting, and worse than that they're something you have to be aware of to not get stuck with overage charges.
The lack of symmetric options is really a problem too. What good is an 'unlimited' upload cap if the bandwidth is 10% of what your download speed is?
It's awful. The Canadian broadband market lacks competition and fiber availability.
It's a joke. And the only reason is to make you pay for the more expensive connection. Maybe also to hand you additional charges.
Plus this seems like the sort of technology that may even make less bandwidth congestion. It might even speed up your archaic internet connection.
