I was one of the people who complained about their use of the word "unlimited". The ASA ruled that there were no limits except for "normal traffic management". That was back before they started sending nasty letters to people though, so it could be worth someone who got one contacting the ASA again.

I'm amazed I don't have one yet. Unfortunately I do get throttled regularly because people living here like to use iPlayer in the evenings, so maybe the loss due to STM kneecapping keeps me under their unpublished and unknowable limit.

So ISPs have now re-defined the meaning of unlimited to the same thing as limited. Kinda like flammable and inflammable. So we need a new word that means what unlimited used to mean, maybe ununlimited or "truly limited". Actually I like the latter because it implies that they lied, which is true.

Virgin Media Truely Limited Fiber Optic as far as the cabinet then Copper again Moderately Rapid just Not All The Time Broadband it should be called.
