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

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.

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"

Go on then...

It isn't. I get between 1/3rd and 1/1 max speed. There is no specific, constant, or usage defined cap.
its consistent here. It is also consistent for most BT customer's, I dont know if you are special or not. The consistency been reported by various people is a upload speed of around 1mbit/sec on p2p protocol 24/7, the inconsistency is in the download throttling.

However you seem to have completely misunderstood the ASA regulations, they dont care if its a specific limit, they just care if its moderate or not. If it had to be constant then it may well be a regulation that doesnt exist as all a isp would have to do is slightly adjust it each day and then say its excluded.

To summarise on unlimited broadband products all limitations of service have to be clearly described on advertising material, based on past ASA decisions, having it in the small print is not good enough anything not described and is above moderate affect on the service is in breach. The ASA dont proactively look for breaches they act on reports.

and your car analogy is a big fail, the reason you cant do 200mph is due to road laws. You getting nowhere making make believe comparisons that are not a comparison, there is no law stating p2p has to be throttled.
