Bandwidth costs money, but I fully agree that if ISP's are going to use the word "unlimited" then they should have to stick to it according to the Oxford English definition of the word.

Exactly  :y Otherwise why not advertise the actual limit, so there's no grey area?

And just how are they going to prove to anyone that you can define 80% of 'unlimited????

(Unlimited means, 'with no limit', so it's impossible to define)
Checked this with my brother-in-law, who is a solicitor ;D
