Are there any Canadian Internet companies that don't offer an allowance? Meaning there is no limit to the amount of GB you can use in a month. Preferably with 10 mps cable connection. I've searched, but it seems the Internet Cartels (Bell, and Rogers) have the whole market to themselves.
Is there anything better than Rogers Internet?

TekSavvy http://www.teksavvy.com/en/index.asp , they don't cap the bandwidth, fortunatelly for us !!!
Check out Acanac as well, not quite the connection speed you were looking for (it's 5Mbps/800Kps) but no connection fees, no DL limits and lots of other items included that most services charge additional fees for (static IP, email, etc.). It's only $19/month in total which works with taxes and modem (if you need it) around $300 for the year.

Distributel. $59 a month, no caps, includes telephone and 200 minutes a month of long distance almost anywhere. First 3 months is $39 a month. Setup was $60.00 which included all hardware. Get decent speed.
its still $25, i go over almost every month.
as for DSL, it really doesnt matter who you choose the lines still belong to Bell, who on occasion will still throttle your speed and is not a dedicated speed, as it states it is "up to" xxMbit.
Cable internet is a bit more reliable in download speeds, as well states it is "up to" xxMbit but more than likely you will get the speed you pay for. But finding one other than Rogers' is tough as they are usually only provided through other TV cable companies. (Cogeco, Aurora Cable, Shaw, etc)
Although if you take a Business Internet connection from Rogers' there is no bw cap, except that you need to take an analogue phone line with the package, like a fax line. The speed is to be 10mbit from what the C/S rep told me when I called in.
I believe Primus provides umlited upload/download, but I belive they are only 7 mbps.

Also, I am currently using Bell, 12 mbps and 100 gig limit. It is a dollar a gig there after to a max of 25 bucks, I believe. I moniter my usage carefully so I don't go over.
On a side note. I use bit comet, and a few weeks ago I updated to there latest version and my speed went through the roof.
I find I get my best speeds in the morning and can usually download a movie in less than an hour. Family Guy, 15 minutes.

I have noticed that a few days after I receive the message from them telling me that I have exceeded my gigs for the month, my bandwidth slows down. I think they have already started to throttle service.
Lols friend of mine had the same thing. Got $1400 bill, be prepared.
As for these limits, I don't get it what do people download. Is there something Im missing? Movies, shows etc.

The most they will charge you a month is +$25 over the regular bill. They will keep charging you that for many months until it's all paid up. My wife went over $70 once. Now we check our limit religiously.
