Neither the fair usage policy or traffic management policy have a usage threshold of any kind. Thereby, it is unlimited.

Selective quoting again... Full text for the benefit of all:

* The term "unlimited" can only be used if the customer incurs no additional charge or suspension of service as a consequence of exceeding a usage threshold associated with a Fair Usage Policy (FUP), a traffic management policy or similar.
* Limitations that do affect the speed or usage of the service must also be moderate only and clearly explained in the advertisement.

I don't read it that the second bullet point is a subset of the first - It stands on its own. Nothing about usage thresholds...
Alternatively - P2P traffic will be reduced in speed after downloading 0B between the prescribed 'peak hours'.
BT do clearly explain the limitation on their website so the second sentence is satisfied. Is the reduction 'moderate' would seem to be the sticking point as this parameter is not defined.

Sky's is not unlimited. The connection speed is limited, at all times, to either 40Mb or 80Mb. That is traffic shaping all protocols. Therefore, by your definition, a limit.

And now the argument descends to ridiculous levels (again!)
