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...?

Your views are welcome, but let's not take this thread off topic. The point here is that the BBC has made a factually inaccurate statement ... there's not a lot more to it than that.
