Yes, the downloading is unlimited, but the speed is..... that contradicts the "No Limits" bit in the advert!

And just to prove my point, you can check the ads here:

At the bottom, click on the "Our new TV Ads"

and watch the "Multiply Uma" advert
so lets keep this simple, your saying if the word unlimited or the phrase no limits is used then there should be no mention of any limit "To me this means, no caps/shaping/throttling, in fact no restrictions whatsoever!", yet in the same paragraph you say "A consumer should therefore be able to download as much as they want, at the speed they paid for". surely this is a contradiction in terms.

nothing, i repeat nothing is unlimited, show me one thing that exists in this universe, or the next, or the next that is unlimited, even infinity has an end...so i think it would be better to start a campaign to get the word unlimited removed from the dictionary as it is just NOT possible for ANYTHING to be unlimited...

yes what i just said is crazy but some peoples interpretations of things on here are out of whack so if we are being literal and want exactly what we are written to get then the above needs to happen
