Yeah, I've heard of such things.

Of course, no ISP can truly offer an "unlimited" Internet access 
package. The difference is that some of them will *tell* you what the 
limit is, and others will make it up as they go along...

(If the limit is in the T&C, then that's the limit they have to follow. 
If the T&C are more vague, they can cap you to whatever suits their 
pockets...)
