    Still possible to have virtually no cap via the HighSpeed 7mbit tier which have a 50$ overcharge cap on the 20gig down 10gig up cap, ironic is'nt it? Reliable speed...maybe...that was considered good speed worldwide 2-3 years from now, now it's obsolete, but you can't really have better in America, let's face it. That's why they keep abusing too. And that's why I keep abusing their only tier which have 'virtually' no cap with an average of 500gig down 250gig up per month. That's a 2 way game, I suck the more juice I can since the day there is no more free-of-cap service I will unsubscribe completely from any internet service at all (since it sucks all over Canada...ummm America). Thinking about moving to France or Japan where they have descent services. By the way, I'm not really complaining. It's just that Videotron is a telecom giant and is capable of offering way better product than they are right now. It's sad to see a slow down in evolution in the name of more profit. I don't have the numbers, but I'm sure it's already huge, why stop innovation. Here is a link to the HighSpeed tier page for more information: »www.videotron.com/services/fr/in···-ihv.jsp

    It's expensive, but grab it while it still stands. With all the third party ISPs being throttled by Bell, there is'nt much choice.

    No choice ?

    Why not go with a DSL provider like Unilimited cap with TekSavvy, take 2 DSL lines and use MLPPP to combine both and get a 10Meg down / 1.5Meg up for less than what you are paying now with videotron.

    MLPPP is not throttled so you get your full speed 24/7

    I totaly agree with your review... but not that there is no other choice...

    Re: No choice ?

    I didn't even know what MLPPP was. But setting it up doesn't seem to be an easy task. So this technique evade throttling...interesting lol, thanks. I am still on a contract with Videotron but I'll check this out in September. But I doubt this technique is without it's problems, and that it will always evade throttling. Is'nt it possible for Bell to change their throttling techniques to adapt this workaround?

    I said I would unsubscribe from any internet service at all, but I just bought Age Of Conan lol..I never was into MMOs but that one kick ass. So now If I wanna play, I can't be without internet service at home. :P
