Videotron implied that its extreme high-speed service allowed unlimited downloading, but the company imposed a 100 gigabyte limit soon after the original plaintiff signed his contract.
Anything over that limit cost $1.50 per gigabyte.
According to Quebec’s consumer union, the change affected about 34,000 customers and violated Quebec’s consumer protection act.
Videotron said it is reviewing the decision.
The company has 30 days to decide whether it will appeal or not.
