** unmetered local calls apply to calls made from a standard telephone line from a residential Videotron telephone customer to any other Videotron telephone customer, 7pm to 7am Monday to Friday, all day weekends and UK Public Holidays. Certain Internet Service Providers charge for services they provide directly to customers. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the number dialled from their PC is a Videotron number to qualify for unmetered local calls.
*** Videotron customers save an average 10% against the equivalent BT bill. The percentage is calculated by applying both BT's tariff (excluding discounts and promotions) and the Videotron tariff (excluding discounts and promotions) to the average call pattern of Videotron's residential telephone customers and comparing the two.
