With all these Unlimited BB deals lately is this just another set up for more money for less?
Yes they say they won't limit speeds now, but will they put in the extra infrastructure needed so that speeds won't go down because of congestion?
And then they'll put in speed restrictions anyway.

There's a reason why the ISPs known for overall quality charge more than the bottom-rung ISPs like TalkTalk.
I haven't noticed a reduction in speed yet even at peak times so it will do for me at the moment.
The problem is that people want to pay less and less for their broadband and then the ISps got to cut corners to keep making a profit. so they don't update the bandwidth and we get congestion.
Very few ISPs are unlimited, in fact I doubt any are, even the Cable and wireless service I was on had a limit, ok you be hard push to get to it unless you was downloading 24/7 on a high speed network.
The ISP I am with now says unlimited, but if you read a bit further it says Subject to acceptable usage policy.
Saying that, I bang my connection at times and not heard a word. I was told only one person have been warned about their usage and that was because they was downloading 24/7.
Im talking about when they plaster the front of the advert with the word unlimited e.g. http://www.whippet.co.uk/media/img/news/TescoBroadband.png.747x747_q85_crop.jpg
you cant have a loads of numbers instead, the general public are easily confused.
