Hi Vincent,

Well, this is not going to answer your initial question, but let me
tell you that this new throughput from Numericable (my ISP as well)
doesn't have any quota of any kind applied. Right now you can call
them and switch to this new offer, for more information have a look at
news://news.numericable.fr/fr.usenet.internet.cable on USENET.
