it should be illegal to insinuate unlimited when it isn’t unlimited.

that said, it’s become so normalized by now for companies to basically lie what they’re giving to you, so ultimately there isn’t a whole lot you can do.

my grandpa used to always say “i fought the law and the law won” that should be updated to, “i fought misleading/lying corp and the corp won.”

They should still be allowed to disconnect you or cap it if you abuse it. Businesses shouldn't be forced to put up with customers that are costing them money by being unreasonable.

So, you are saying it is unreasonable to take a company at its word.

You are saying it is unreasonable to understand the words a company uses as having the same meaning as understood by every other speaker, writer, listener, and reader.

And you are saying it is reasonable for a company to lie, to make claims that are the opposite of the words it uses.

Yes, the company's network resources are finite, and it is reasonable to put in limits on abuse. That does not (and should not) create a license to abuse the language. There are many other words a company could HONESTLY use to describe its biggest plan that do not mean infinite when they mean finite. Any competent marketer and lawyer can find a thesaurus.

(and the same applies to "Full Self Driving", an obvious lie in it's second decade.)

It's still unlimited if they cap you, it's just slow.

Why do they call it a speed limit on the highways?

The "unreasonableness" of using what you pay for.

[TurdF3rguson]

"Unlimited" is just the plan name / description. It doesn't mean you can defy physics. You cannot have more Olive Garden breadsticks than there are atoms in the universe.

[surgical_fire]

Then don't advertise you can provide me with infinite breadsticks?

And, perhaps more importantly, don't be a bitch if once you advertise infinite breadsticks someone tries to take your word for it.

Sure, but if you advertise unlimited data and a data rate of 100mbps you should be obligated to deliver 100mbps for as long as the user continues to pay for service.

[TurdF3rguson]

Except that I guarantee there's some fine print in the terms that says otherwise. Also, cancelling his service means he's not continuing to pay for service.
