No, the marketing is deceptive! They should add a fine print with the actual cap

It's really quite clear.

There is no firm cap. But they're not required to allow usage not consistent with a single residential customer, or effecting other users of the network.

That's not unlimited service. That's "limited service, except we won't tell you what the limit is until after you've already reached it".

What do these words mean when the premise of this thread is that we're talking about a single residential customer? Is there a hidden meaning that I'm missing?

> or effecting other users of the network.

Isn't this a function of the quality of the network and completely out of the control of the customer?
