Ah I see.
Totally relevant, unlimited can mean either unlimited time online (you can connect when you want) or unlimited usage (download what you want).
Yes unlimited time online one expect from all broadband packages, however this is the company that has a budget product that permits something silly like 4 hours online a month.
Ah I got my timescale slightly wrong too.

Translation: Whoops we spent all our money on TV and tube ads and forgot to add extra line cards to your DSLAM, how clever are we!
Am sure Ofcom will enjoy the resultant complains as once again Bulldog sell more than they can provide (how did that 20k orders outstanding with 40k installed customers backlog go with getting cleared I wonder, planks). Along with the nice promises of no advertising that lasted at least a month before the most recent huge campaign.
NB Bulldog Broadband packages as advertised on their website right now:

Note
zero time restrictions = unlimited time online
£9.75 / month if ordered by December 31st, that'll be the special offer I presume? A whole gig a month then...

1 gig usage included per month with additional usage charge on a per gig basis (�5.00 for 1-3 gig, �10.00 for 3-6 gig, �15.00 for 6-9 gig and �25.00 for 9 gig and over
