Unlimited Bandwidth

[Spindulik]

The simple fact that anyone advertises UNLIMITED is just plain deceiving! I don't care what anyone says about legal and fine print rules and stuff. The companies are doing anything they can to attract your attention, even if they have to lure you in with a bogus plan (but legal due to the fine print).

Come on now. That's like me applying for a job with a resume saying I can work unlimited hours. Then the employer reads the fine print, and it says I require a 16 hour break for every 24 hour period I work, not including the breaks in between.

A lot of companies do this "Legal Fibbing". Like the "50% off all items", except for XBOX, TVs, stereo, VCRs, diamonds, jewelery. Well, in that case, the only thing left in the store is the over-priced clothing that they couldn't sell last month.

How about the 0% interest for 3 years on the new car or appliance? But did you read the fine print? If the item isn't completely payed in 3 years, you owe 28% interest starting from the day you bought the product. Ain't that sweet?

One more? You can save up to 20% on your automobile insurance!! "Call us now!". Yeah, right. One little fender bender or offense, and your rates jump 70%, according to the fine print.

Last one. "Save on long Distant Calls", "dial 10-10...", "Only 5 cents a minute!" Yeah right, but the fine print says you also have to pay the $2.00 for the connection fee and another $1.00 for the first minute and even some more money for the taxes and other services.

GIVE ME A BREAK!

Do you really want to deal with any business that resorts to tricking you into a deal? What kind of integrity do they have when your first impression is a lie? (not really a lie, its in the fine print - eh?)






Fine print is like crossing your fingers.

I am getting my hosting from a host with unlimited space and bandwidth. I dont trust their backups, so I will make backups of my own.
Thus I will never have to fear to overdo it, as my 80 GB is all I can upload to them as well.

As for the bandwidth: They have nothing in the FAQ (they have no TOS afai can see) about what unlimited bandwidth means.
If they just delete my account cos I use too much, Im gonna sue their asses.

They have to keep what they promise, or meet me in court

Hi, Just a quick notice to all those people who mention "unlimited bandwidth"...it is impossible to be such thing. These providers who claim to offer unlimited bandwidth will probably have a note in thier TOU about "system resouces". These providers will allow approx 10GB monthly bandwidth only.

I download 10 gigs a day sometimes my isp never says a word and i have unlimted high speed broadband 2.0MB/256KB. 6th one done is my plan.
