When you phrase it that way it looks different doesn't it?
You conveniently seem to forget that their is NO LIMIT, the service is advertised and sold as UNLIMITED. IF it isn't then sell it as such - you can download 40 gig a month or whatever.
If they can't do it at that price then up the price. If someone truly wants unlimited max speed downloads they can either pay or cut their usage. It's not that difficult really.

You are paying for a contended service, if you want 20meg of gaurenteed bandwidth that you can use 24/7 then go get yourself a leased line, then you can come back and complain at how expensive they actually are. Instead you can "use what you pay for" which ISN'T a gaurenteed 20meg. It's a service that's capable of delivering a 20meg speed, with an average per subscriber speed of more like 1meg, quite possibly even lower.
The service *IS* unlimited, there is no limit to how much you can download, speed restrictions do not change it from being unlimited as at no point will your internet be cut if you reach an arbituary limit.
However you also have to understand that it is contended, that means that whilst there is no set limit to how much you can download, there is a limit to how much can be supplied to a set of customers at any one time. Incidently, the speed when you're capped by STM are still considerably higher than what you'd get if everyone was "using what they paid for".
You say up the price to offer "truly unlimited", but I doubt you truely understand just how much it costs to provided the dedicated bandwidth to each subscriber that would meet your definition of unlimited.
