Unlimited really looks like it is unlimited with Infinity. What's the bet they change that 6 months down the line!

At this point at least, it seems BT infinity is a better product, in terms of "Unlimited"'ness.

£35 a month for "upto" 100mb download and "upto" 19mb upload. (Seems to have changed from 15 to 19mb)

Just like VM's BB is also unlimited; as in amount not speed, as per the industry standard definition. And, looking at that link, only two out of the five available are, actually, unlimited. The others are more limited than VM :rolleyes:

I guess that's because only two out of the five are actually offered as unlimited the other three have a monthly allowance.

I also guess if you fail to notice such obvious points in an informational page then you're not really worth taking that much notice of.

I question how far that concept can be pushed.

e.g:

Unlimited data*

*speed restricted to 5kbps after you download 10GB in any month.

That would be virtually useless, but it seems to fit in with both the law and commonly used advertising.

Well yes. And? :confused: Is my point any less valid? No.

I didn't "fail to notice" anything :rolleyes:

I could have picked you up on your other comment...

.. but I didn't bother because there was no point. You may well be right but,. at which time, VM's will still be unlimited.

Oh, and qasdfdsaq, if you have something to say just say it and stop hiding behind the rep system :rolleyes:

LMAO

I'd forgotten about you and how you always have to be right.

Anyways, unlimited Infinity ordered.

hmm I got weird behaviour as well and i see where sirius and others have come from.

I did a speedtest and after I seem to be throttled or at least on lower priority as my latency/jitter increased right after as if doing a speedtest was been naughty.

Glad i was not the only one to notice this. At the moment i am watching my connection like a hawk because i want to see if i get STM'd again for no reason. Present usage for the day totals 2 gig.

This is when i was STM'd last night

I don't "always have to be right" at all. I just am in this instance.

Yeah. I get annoyed when people can't accept that someone else other than them can be right too :p:
