That's a very good point and I bet that is precisely what the lawyers were thinking when it was written.
But it is a limit, in fact imposing a new limit to the users maximum speed becomes a second disqualifier to their ability to advertise UNLIMITED.

But I can play along. I'm in technology. I have no soul.

FUNCHORDS UNLIMITED BROADBAND (1 byte per customer per year, 1 account per customer, no customers under 9 feet tall, unlimited number of customers).
You still have unlimited access and unlimited download capability. Your connection is already limited to a certain Mbps, so throttling it down to 50Kbps doesn't change that. So their argument would be that they don't mean an unlimited Mbps ... that is impossible to provide, they mean unlimited consumption. Limiting a user to, even your 1Kbps still provides for unlimited consumption, just veeeeeeeery slowly.
