as for people saying traffic shaping is NOT a limit, first lets look at the dictionary definitions

un·lim·itÃƒÆ ’‚·ed

not limited; unrestricted; unconfined: unlimited trade.

lim·it·ed

confined within limits; restricted or circumscribed: a limited space; limited resources.

i'll use fake numbers because i can't be bothered to work them out but lets say hypothetically that on a 10mb connection you can download

100gb per day

and everyone lives for 100 years

on an unshaped network you get 3,650,000gb

on a shaped network you get shaped for 8 hours per day which = 82.5 gb per day

or 3,011,250 gb

while neither is technically "unlimited" one is getting less than the other while being described as having no limits. ( and i need a hobby ) lol
