What would you think about displaying corresponding date periods alongside bandwidth usage?  Reason I ask is that, on the first day of each month like today, VCMU displays the accumulated bandwidth usage for the previous month while mentionning that the next reset day will be in 31 days.  It's normal that VCMU displays the previous month usage on the first day of any given month since Videotron cannot currently display bandwidth usage in real time.  However, it's confusing when VCMU displays that (for example) 55% of your bandwidth is already used up on the first day of a month while mentionning that the next reset will occur in a month.  A first glance at such results is somewhat surprising until one realizes that the apparent error is induced by the 24 hrs turnover period occuring at the beginning of each month.
