I don't think there's any confusion. Nobody except you thinks unlimited refers to any other aspect of the connection.

Unlimited never refers to speed. The throughput of everything is always deliberately limited by the ISP. Your line rate is limited by the provider, and your IP throughput is further limited by the IP profile. And sometimes certain protocols are de-prioritized but that's not a limit.

No connection in existence has unlimited throughput.
