Unlimited is never really unlimited in my experience, especially for those prices. They must throttle at some point, which is fine, but would need to know what that point is before you could accurately compare them to existing providers (Shaw or Telus)
What are the upload speeds? What about higher download speeds? Many of us are on 50Mb/s download (or higher) plans.
Terms seem a little restrictive to me. Of probable interest to people here:

DATA STORAGE AND OTHER LIMITATIONS
You must ensure that your activity while using the Services does not improperly restrict, inhibit or degrade any other customer’s use of the Services, nor represent (in the sole judgment of Distributel) an unusually large burden on the network itself...
Distributel reserves the right to set specific limits for Bandwidth Usage and charge for excessive Bandwidth Usage for residential Services at any time. In addition, you must ensure that your activities do not improperly restrict, disrupt, inhibit, degrade or impede Distributel’s ability to deliver the Services and monitor the Services, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services.
...
The number of users who access the network will be limited to the number of connections allowed to them, on their service description order. Generally one connection per service is allowed. Distributel will deny any additional connection attempts exceeding the allowed number.

So seems nice on the surface, but for anyone who truly needs unlimited service, is probably lacking. You really do get what you pay for.
