SIMI VALLEY, Calif. – When AT&T started slowing down the data service for his iPhone, Matt Spaccarelli, an unemployed truck driver and student, took the country's largest telecommunications company to small claims court. And won.
A precedent has been made about the so called "Unlimited" phone packages. I'll point out that as it says, this was in America, but if you know anything about Legalese as I do, you'll know that America also uses our legal system and therfore Legalese. Terms and conditions or not, it is fraudulent to use the term Unlimited for any service offered by a company unless the service truely is unlimited. Even with small print stating otherwise, Unlimited means unlimited... Without limits...
un·lim·it·ed/ˌənˈlimitid/
| Adjective: | - Not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent.
- (of a company) Not limited.

|
| | Synonyms: | boundless - unbounded - limitless - infinite |
If you feel that the package you have was mis-sold under the fraudulent "Unlimited" banner, you may want to seek action at a small claims court.
I mention all this as I too am tired of companies trying to make their services seem better by sticking the "Unlimited" badge on them yet failing to supply unlimited service.
