Unlimited sounds good but what does it really mean? An ISP can offer unlimited 8 mbps broadband but may cram so many users onto its pipes that they may never get much more than dial-up speeds. There can also be many terms and conditions that prohibit a lot of uses of the connection and catch all terms such as "your usage must not affect the usage of any other customer". Many users think that if they have a 8 mbps unlimited connection that they can download anything they want and always get very near the 8 mbps but the truth can be very different.
