Provides an interface to pull carrier data plan usage from a simple command line.

Was originally intended to be a method to graph usage in Zabbix, but evolved into a full command line tool.

Currently supports the following carriers:

• Telus Wireline
• Koodo Mobile

Additional carriers can easily be added if requested.
