Cam girls in Canada (and even the USA) you need to know about these things
These petitions are mainly for Canadians, but I think those of you in the USA need to know too.

As cam girls we need to take an active stance against internet monitoring. This can mean loss of business for us (and trust me it hits me hard in my wallet) and the potential of having ISPs ban us.
Canadian ISPs rip us off. I live in the suburbs of Toronto and am forced to subscribe to Rogers Ultimate internet solely because they are the company that offers the highest upload speed in this area which is a sad 2 mbps and download of 50 mbps. Bell offers their fibe 25 in *some areas of Toronto with a supposed upload of "up to" 7 mbps but unfortunately not in my area yet. This seriously screws with my placement on streamate, which by and large is partially based on upload speed as well as other factors like your customer reviews, etc. I usually sit some where around line 3 -5 on the main page, but I feel this could be better if I had a faster upload. These companies and their greed are literally taking dollars out of my pocket and pay. I am willing to pay for a better upload, but its simply not available in my area. I can't move and quite frankly am not interested in driving an hr or so to cam out of a hotel. I have 3 dogs so that means I cannot just pick up and go to a hotel to cam for 8 hrs. I really prefer to be at home where I can just log out if my doggy needs to go outside. Besides my house is comfy and private, I love working from home and being able to cook a hot meal or bake while I am online working.
Not only do they throttle, but they also now want to spy on us (and they already do to some degree).
I try to contribute a few dollars here and there to Open Media mainly because they are advocating to some of my own interests as a cam girl.

Signed the petitions.
Agreed that we do have to do something.
What else can we do besides sign the petitions?

Sadly, our best hope of getting this metering situation under control won't be signing petitions. It will be the fact that Netflix has a vested interest in making money in Canada right now and the company might actually have enough leverage to take on Bell/Rogers at their own legal loophole game.
