Re: Riding the fence

Touche !!!!...."Unlimited Connection" does not mean "fat pipe" does it? I was duped into thinkin unlimited connection meant "always-on" aka no fuzzy ack tones purring down my telephone line.

LOL, tell that to Clinton.

Seriously, legally it is a defense.

Only morally is it a crime.

BTW they no longer use the term. I guess they decided they didn't offer unlimited service anymore.

They never said "unlimited bandwidth", they said an "unlimited connection". (or something equally vague) The running theory is that the claim is to the fact that you can stay connected as much as you like (unlike dialup).

WTF does 'unlimited connection' mean? I would argue that using the term "unlimited" is an accepted term in the marketplace that means "unlimited bandwidth". If unlimited connection means "always on", then I think they would have used that term since that is the accepted terminology that most everyone else uses in the industry.

Splitting hairs is no defense.
