This will never see the lights of a court room.

Earth		 Not true, unlike the USA not everyone/thing can be sued up here. I've seen many cases tossed out at the first hearing.

I agree... I remember a while back when Cable companies 'offered' free extra channels a short period of time to everyone (no calls required), however you had to call in and have them turned off, or you would start receiving a bill once the trial period was up.

This was considered negative option billing, forcing people to call in and opt out if they didn't want to pay extra for service they didn't sign up for. It went to the courts, and cable companies had to turn off the 'free' service after the 'free' period was over, unless customers opted IN.

Longueuil, QC		 Bait and switch? The Extrême has been unlimited since it was created in 2002. They have the right to change their politics once in a while...
