What's there not to understand?

We've seen no limit of insane 3G bills incurred by people who don't understand the concept of overage penalties while in the States...
What concept is there not to understand?

Unlimited
1. An unlimited or infinite quantity
2. having no limits in range or scope; "to start with a theory of unlimited freedom is to end up with unlimited despotism"- Philip Rahv; "the ...
3. outright: without reservation or exception
4. inexhaustible: that cannot be entirely consumed or used up; "an inexhaustible supply of coal"

Sounds pretty cut and dry to me.

I think that's the problem. Unlimited (whatever) is a theory. A term of art. Hyperbole.

Everyone knows that. But, when it comes to the internet, suddenly a bunch of people (facetiously, IMO) take it literally.

I'd like to see the equivalent of nutritional label requirements for the internet. Standardized metrics and format requirements so consumers can make apples-to-apples comparisons.

Facetiously arguing that something should be infinite just because a company said it seems to be a distinction without a point (since nobody I know truly expects infinite anything).
