And they're correct in saying that; there isn't. They just limit the speed at which you can download, yet again getting round the word "unlimited". Why hasn't the ISPA and Ofcom cracked down on the use of the word unlimited yet? Its stupid. Unlimited in real life is pretty much impossible in whatever sense it is used. The correct word, as I have said before, is "un-metered", not unlimited. If there is any form of FUP, then there is a limitation, and therefore it is not "unlimited" or "un-metered" in any fashion at all.

I could go on about even further definitions of the word unlimited and un-metered, but I'd probably get bad rep for it Unless someone wants to hear my views...?
