It was not true years ago when I was using Cox. It said unlimited, but in fact had a upload/download limit. I think download was 500GB/month, upload was far less. I'm using Fios now and apparently it's truly unlimited unless my excessive usage is "unfair" to other users. I guess that kind of language is left to be interpreted by Verizon.
not sure if this is a joke, but most home internet plans get throttled after some secret limit.
Not here in Germany at least as far as i know, though i'm mostly limited by bandwidth anyway. In practical terms maybe if you really use excessive amounts of data on a residential line but i've never heard of anyone hitting those limits and i'm seeding torrents 24/7
That still sounds unlimited, just like there's a natural limit when you're unthrottled.
That's not unlimited, or every mobile data plan in the EU would be unlimited too. You only get throttled very aggressively (64 kBit/s mostly) after reaching the quota, but you still can't call it unlimited.
