to jmillikin: Their precise words are "no data caps"


That is not the same as "unlimited".

Many ISPs offer "up to XX Mb/s" with no caps. In the event of unsustainably high use by some customer, that customer might have their maximum speed lowered to ensure the network quality of other customers.

It's impossible to provide unlimited data anyway, because the maximum amount of data per month is bounded by (length of month * permitted data rate)


Obviously unlimited means 'by them', not 'by the laws of physics'.
