Re: Everyone is right...including amigo_boy... Maybe I should clarify what I said about false advertising:
To us, unlimited means unlimited means unlimited. We have a different definition of unlimited bandwidth, because we make better use of it. The average joe sees unlimited, but doesn't think about the same things as we do in terms of what it can be used for. Not trying to make it look like the average joe is inferior, because he is not.
These wireless broadband providers marketing "unlimited" means unlimited to those who see the advertisements, be it average joe or techsavvy user. The differences lay on the person who is using the bandwidth, and what he uses it for.
Yes, nothing is ever unlimited, and any rational thinker knows this, but these providers should NOT advertise something that has a limit , and that is what Karl is trying to say. If they bury a limit in the TOS, then they need to not put the word "unlimited" in their advertisements.
"Advertising helps people hear what they want to hear. Nothing wrong with being successful at that. Those with exceptional requirements know they should be skeptical, and dig deeper. They're just kvetching."
Are you saying that these companies have a right to false advertising? Even if I were to never pass the limit, I don't think I want trick myself into thinking that this service will always be "unlimited". That's not telling the truth IMO, and I don't think I would like to deal with a company who makes a habit of telling me lies through advertising, unless I absolutely have to.
