eboxbw is a Python 3 package and a command line interface for getting Electronic Box cable Internet bandwidth usage (Québec only). It is based on this tool.
eboxbw supports Electronic Box's Super off peak option.
Unfortunately, Electronic Box does not provide any sort of public API to obtain a user's bandwidth usage data; eboxbw has to rely on parsing the web interface's HTML output. This exact HTML output changes from time to time, when Electronic Box decides so, which often results in eboxbw not working anymore.
There have been several attempts to ask Electronic Box to create a public API, but so far they won't.
