It will definitely depend on the ISP, but generally for repeated “AUP” violations they will suspend your service entirely.

Interestingly it’s often not technically the data usage that triggers this, its how much utilisation (generally peak utilisation) you cause and high data usage is a by product of that. Bandwidth from an ISP’s core network to their various POIs that customer connections come from is generally quite expensive, and residential broadband connections are fairly low margin. So lets say they’ve got 100Gbps to your POI that could realistically service many thousands of people, a single connection worth €/$10-15 a month occupying 10% of that is cause for concern.

If you do 800TB in a month on any residential service you’re getting fair use policy’ed before the first day is over, sadly.

They either get paid by the click, or paid upfront if they’re big enough. Me watching them recite the marketing material for Raid, Nord, Raycon, Better Help, or any other scam/landfill they’ve chosen to sell doesn’t affect them financially.

DNS-based Adblock like NextDNS (paid service), or PiHole (DIY option). Sadly that won’t skip sponsored segments though, you’ll still have to hear all about whatever scam or wish.com garbage they’ve decided to shill.

I don’t want to be a downer, but realistically considering the impact of this Canada is probably going to have to acquiesce at least temporarily.

Trump is applying cold, calculating business logic to this; Canada needs to do business with the US to a large degree, if that becomes costly their (relatively) small economy becomes less viable without reform which they don’t have time to implement.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m 100% behind Canada in fighting this but realistically it’s not a fight they’re going to win.

Hmmm I’ll have to check what Moses said about that
