Here in America advertised speed doesn't even have to relate to actual speed. "Unlimited XMb/s" means "You will never get more than XMb/s, and there's a cap, but you'll have to figure out what it is on your own. Don't worry, it's very large."
- steveklabnik 16y agoAt what point is this false advertising? I see it more like this: Unlimited[1] Internet, at blazing fast Xmbps[2] speeds! 1: Subject to a cap, don't worry it's large[3] 2: We did the math, and it's theoretically possible, but you can get 60% of this speed[5] 3: 'Large' being defined as 'we won't tell you how big it is, or what happens when you go over. Trust us.' 4: Only at 3am when nobody else is on, with a brand new computer, fresh install of Windows, speed determined by loading http://google.com/ http://google.com/ 5: Subject to interplanetary alignment, some other conditions may apply.[4]
