I am a http://zip.ca/ subscriber, and about a month ago received notification of a rent-volume-cap, wherein anything over a certain number of rentals per month (in my case, at the 4-DVD level, the cap is set at 11) gets billed a surcharge (don't quite remember now, but I beleive it was around $2.50-3.00)
It kind of ticked me off, until I realized that, in the half-year or so that we've been members, we've only once hit, never mind passed, the cap-point.
Seems that there are some heavy users in the dvd-mailout business cutting too heavily into the profit margins, eh?
Nice to see a Canadian corporation lead the way once again;-)))
