consumerist.com — In January, Consumerist reader Matt received a brochure from Comcast touting their high-speed Internet service with "Unlimited usage for a flat, monthly rate." But only one month after upgrading to Comcast's "Ultra Tier," he found out that, well... "unlimited" actually means "limited."

Seconded for going with an off-name ISP. TekSavvy and Acanac are both quite good and do boast unlimited service. The only thing you have to worry about is Bell throttling the networks at certain times of day because they're douchebags.

It's classic fraud - a bait and switch to get you to buy a service.

Come on people, these terms have been on display at the planning office on Alpha Centauri for the past fifty years. What do you mean, you've never been to Alpha Centauri? For heaven's sake, mankind, it's only four light-years away, you know.

I used to run a game server off of Charter's networks running at like max upload speeds at all times. I never got in trouble and was pleased they didn't give a crap I was using a lot -- I was paying for that speed.I'm not sure if this guy should necessarily sue but it is extremely unfair and I would be just livid if this was me. I use a lot of bandwidth I know and to just limit when you're paying is complete bulls**t.
