But, is it really unlimited? Or is it the typical "unlimited [star]" where the [star] points to a tiny, 5 point font, footnote at the bottom of a page where they actually detail that you can use as much as you like, up until you use X units, then they throttle you until next month, unless you pay an extra $39.95 for extra data units.

It’s a valid question. T-Mobile for their cell service only offer “unlimited” plans but it’s two kinds of “unlimited”. There’s “5gb at LTE speed and then unlimited at 2G speed” and there is “truly 100% unlimited with no catch”.

I’ve run up over 100gb in one month on my truly unlimited T-Mobile plan and never had any issues. But who knows what their ISP offer will be.

The truly unlimited will de-prioritize you after around 50GB iirc.

what even is unlimited? there is a finite amout of time in a month, and a finite amount of throughput per second.

xGbps*2.628e+6s is already your max.
