Download caps byte

As the government ponders it's decision on capping Internet downloads, a rural Thunder Bay woman can speak first hand about the issue. Connie Nickelsen lives in Nolalu and gets Internet via satellite. She says her 20 gigabyte limit is very restrictive and even prevents her from taking an online course from Lakehead University. She says the amount of megabytes it would consume would put her over the limit very quickly and would become very expensive. Nickelsen says it's very easy to exceed your monthly limit without knowing it.
