You know competition is almost non-existent when one 'competitor' can decide what other competitors can and cannot do in the market.

Just when Bell thought the controversy and bad publicity around it's company couldn't get any worse, it did. The CBC is reporting that Bell Canada is now going to put download limits on its own wholesalers.

The report details a plan to cap people that have a connection speed of 512kb/s or slower to have a 2GB monthly limit with extra charges if users go over. For faster internet users who have connection speeds of about 5MB/s, that cap on a per user basis goes up to 60GB.
