Disagree. "
must also" implies "in combination with".
It cannot be in combination with something if it stands on its own.

That's my point. Only one very specific attribute is "unlimited" and that is the only one they are talking about.

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.

Selling a car with a 200mph top speed and "unlimited" mileage doesn't mean you can always drive at 200mph all the time, wherever you are.

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.

I am?

Because these guys describe "truly unlimited" as "no individual user controls targeted at atypical or heavy users on our BT Total Broadband and BT Infinity products.” and "allowing them to use as much bandwidth as they wish"

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.

It isn't. I get between 1/3rd and 1/1 max speed. There is no specific, constant, or usage defined cap.
