Re: Same reason the DMV gets away with some questions...

said by NetAdmin1:

I understand that people hear what they want, but it is problematic when what people want to hear undermines a clear concept like "unlimited."
I agree. It's just a matter of how large the group of people are who feel it's problematic. This seems like a bell curve. If 80% use 2-3 gig per month, and I advertise to that group (with an unstated 4 gig cap), I don't care about the 10% who will be affected by the cap. The 80% is the sweet spot.

I think the problem is that "unlimited" is interpreted in a literal, scientific way instead of advertising. Everyone knows there is a difference. It's just those whom a scientific definition works in their favor insist advertising should be scientific.

I was serious about what I said before. I think it would be more constructive for DSLR to lead an effort to enact a broadband equivalent of nutrition labeling. I don't see how these whine sessions lead to anything constructive.

For example, someone else's hubris over caps doesn't move me (when, for all intents and purposes, I have unlimited bandwidth). But, standardized measurements and reporting is consistent with a free marketplace (to help buyers make informed decisions). I could give 100% support to that.

Baby steps.
