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).
