Then be honest instead of lying: "Unlimited data; limited bandwidth".
- JanisL 8y agoLimited bandwidth means limited data over a finite time frame. Something like "No overages on data; limited bandwidth" would be more accurate.
- Spivak 8y agoUnlimited bandwidth still means limited data over a finite time frame. The distinction is meaningless.
- JanisL 8y agoInfinity times something finite is still infinite. I think this distinction isn't as important as telling people how much data their maximum really is based on how much they could actually use through the system
- userbinator 8y ago...which turns out to be limited data anyway. It's so pervasive that I automatically ignore any mention of "unlimited" regarding bandwidth or total volume of data. These "unlimited" plans are more like "first X amount of data per month at Y speed; Z speed thereafter", but of course that's not catchy enough for marketing...
