There is difference between bandwidth and data cap; when telco says unlimited bandwidth in bold they will have also written the data-caps somewhere in small letters. Nevertheless one could also say that unlimited is relative to the medium of connection used, especially if its a mobile network.<br>
</div>ISP do all sort of things (especially in my region) to make money because there are few national local loop connectivity and so one would resolve to whatever is available.<br><br></div>Another related scenario that comes to mind; recently the upstream provider of an organisations i am contact for (admin whois) requested their client to pay for advertising their recently acquired IP address range. So the question is, when a client pay to be part of a network should they be asked to pay for such advertisement?<br>
