Re: Send me the letter!
said by NGOwner  :Verizon is offering unlimited usage within the confines of its TOS. As long as your usage of the service remains within the TOS, you can use the service as much as you want with impunity. P.S. It's no different than unlimited mileage for a car rental. The TOS for the rental car details what the car can be used for and where it can be used. If you don't abide by those rules, the mileage is not unlimted. Though in the scenario you've offered, any car-rental advertisements will specify unlimited mileage and nothing else. So any potential customer wouldn't necessarily expect to drive on the wrong side of the road at 200mph. 
Verizon, in its advertising its EVDO service as simply "unlimited," is implying that the things one would normally do with a standard internet connection (watch movies, download/play games, stream videos, etc.) would be available in a similarly unlimited capacity via EVDO.
Now if VZ said "Unlimited Minutes" or "Unlimited Connection Time" or "Unlimited e-mail transfers" or something to that effect, then it'd be a different story. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't even think that their commercials even have the standard "fine print" that car ads or drug ads do.

Unlimited means without limits.
If I want to download 70000 TB of data then so be it because that falls under the word unlimited.
There is no number in existence that doesn't fall under unlimited.
The word doesn't have an array of meanings. Go to a dictionary. I checked 5 I had in the house and they all agreed on what it meant.
You can't tell me pie has an array of meanings as well and I can expect a pizza from McDonalds when I order an apple pie. I should expect a meat lovers pizza with a pie logo on the box of it? |
