| Really Unlimited ?
Have you heard of anyone getting a letter or a call saying that they should not download that much ?
Im thinking on suscribing to this service ( Extreme - unlimited ) and i'm averaging 100~150GB per month. I was wondering it is really unlimited, or they will contact me if i go to far.
I've been with Sympatico for a few years at this pace and they have never contacted me, but now they want to limit everybody's downloads so i'm switching to Videotron probably. |

| Yes, it is really unlimited. I went apeshit on the downloads with last month averaging more then 400GB. Never got a call or a letter or anything like that.
The only case I've heard is one of my friends who broke 900GB(newsgroups) last December and he received a call from VL asking him if the bandwidth was maybe due to a virus etc. He confirmed it was not a virus but rather his use and that's it. The call ended there. He got no warning, no nothing.
To conclude : yes it is really unlimited, but damn, you pay a lot for it. Only worth it if you bundle together the Videtron phone service and maybe Cable TV as well. Otherwise, i would advise you to consider Tecksavvy as they offer unlimited DSL for half the price or if you're on the Montreal island, Colba.net offers ADSL2+ 24Mbps down and 3.5Mbs up also unlimited for 35$ a month.
Hope this helps you make a sound decision.
