Happy to see me go!
You know how sometimes a company is happy to see you stop being a customer? Perhaps if you really take advantage of the unlimited salad and breadsticks at your local restaurant, or you drive your rental car 1000km in a day because you have unlimited kilometres? Customers like that really drive down their profits.
I can't help but think that Shaw is really glad I moved out of Edmonton, and here's why: Below is the internet usage for the cable modem at my old place. I shared the hookup with two other people, who still live there. In fact, someone else has moved in in my place. Based on the chart, can you guess when I moved out?
Yup, you guessed it, October 1st, 2005. After I left, the bandwidth usage fell from 120GB per month to 30GB per month. The average while I was there was 115GB/month, and the average now is 26GB/month. I can only imagine what kind of party they had at Shaw HQ to celebrate my departure.
Unfortunately, I don't have any usage data from my current ISP, but the great thing is that there are absolutely no caps on the amount you can download or upload per month, so I have no fear of getting that dreaded phone call or letter telling us/me to cool it on the bandwidth consumption (which happened a few times in Edmonton, including getting shut down for a week).
