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.

qas sorry I cant back you on this there is a clear difference.
if you go on what you are trying to define then by that logic not a single thing in existance is unlimited.
There is a very clear difference between selling a specific up to speed and then allowing a free for all on all protocols. Then doing the same thing but artifically restricting specific usage patterns. The latter sigificantly can reduce an isp's costs whilst saying their product is the same to customers.
My guess is if found a BT advert that doesnt mention clearly p2p is excluded the ASA would uphold a complaint I make. Dont assume companies get it right over consumers on legalities, because I did a complaint against VM to the ASA, I was the only complainent and the decision was upheld against all of VMs lawyers.
Also have to think what the average person thinks unlimited is, and you are the first person I have come across trying to explain it the way you have.

Ferret what BT dont mention tho is p2p upload is throttled 24/7 to around 1/20 max speed. It is in the small print but not made clear.
