yeah, I really wish the FTC would really come down on companies using 'unlimited', but companies coming out and saying "customers using the service as advertised are abusing it" are ridiculous. I do appreciate that they're at least going to a hard limit instead of a "at our discretion" limit that a lot of phone carriers used for a long time.


I'm guessing everyone uses the third meaning of unlimited when selling services.

un· lim· it· ed ˌən-ˈli-mə-təd

1: lacking any controls : unrestricted

unlimited access

2: boundless, infinite

unlimited possibilities

3: not bounded by exceptions : undefined

the unlimited and unconditional surrender of the enemy— Sir Winston Churchill
