Videotron, eh?  Since I know you didn't read the terms of service, the fine
print, here you go:

"3.4              Maximum Use.  The customer agrees that use of the Services
in an "unlimited" manner refers only to the usage time and is based upon
intermittent use.  Notwithstanding any contrary provisions, Vid๏ฟฝotron may
impose certain reasonable conditions and limits on the customer's use of the
Services.  This Agreement entitles the customer to six (6) gigabytes (6144
megabytes) per month of downloading (from the Internet to the customer) and
one (1) gigabyte per month of uploading (from the customer to the Internet).
All additional monthly transfers of data shall be invoiced at a cost of
$0.02 per megabyte used in excess of the aforementioned limits."

You can find that here:

Is it a Canadian thing to capitalize every word?  Or are you just hoping
someone will think this is poetry?
