Can we agree that if a company advertises a service as unlimited, and in fact it IS limited and you CAN hit that limit easily under what should be considered normal use then it is false advertising?
I agree that it's strictly impossible to allow for 'unlimited' bandwidth, but I'd argue that the clear meaning of the word in this context leads you to assume that it's unmetered and you can reasonably assume that you can make use of the service at a consumer level without worrying about hitting a cap.
I'm not arguing that you should be able to download 2TB's of data a month on a cell phone hotspot, but there's a whole lot of "unlimited" plans that have caps far far far lower than that which is kinda BS.
- chc 11y agoThat's not the case here, though. They advertise unlimited mobile data with a 7 GB limit on data use through tethering. I'm a T-Mobile customer on this same plan, and when I signed up, T-Mobile was completely honest and explicit about what they were offering. These people are attempting to cause data that is contractually limited to get counted as part of their unlimited data. What T-Mobile is saying here is that they are going to start counting the data correctly — they're not going back on the unlimited data they promised.
