Of course, broadband providers can easily claim unlimited or no fixed limits with their products by making use of traffic shaping to control usage
This is exactly the point I was making. Too many ISP's hide behind packages advertised as "unlimited", and then throttle users, to limit how much bandwidth they use. IMO it's wrong, personally I would much prefer a capped service, at least you know where you stand. If an ISP is going to offer an unlimited package, it should be exactly that, with no traffic shaping to con the user.
