 Here's An Idea

Why don't you stop whining *aka bitching* over this issue, get a lawyer, and drag them to court for false advertising. That is the only way you are going to get anything accomplished, and yes it will cost money. But if you win, I am sure cogeco, and others will think twice before adding any term "unlimited" to any ad, since it will eventually mean they will end up paying unlimited money to customers.

You are 100% correct here. This isn't an unreasonable case to bring to the courts. All you are asking is for them to codify the definition of "unlimited." If I was in this position I would not even ask for any cash (maybe just a $1 token amount). All I would want is for the the service provider to live up to its claims of "unlimited" service or back away from the claim. Either action will be good for consumers since they will know for what they are paying.
