Default ISP and their use of the English Language

Wondering why

You are not the only one that ISPs have arbitrarily redefined what certain words mean, this happens world wide not just is OZ.

For example:

Unlimited - means limited to what we tell you you can do.

24/7 - usually means 150 hours a month.


So, you have a couple of choices to make:

1) You can get yourself another ISP, I don't know what the ISP situation is like in OZ but here in London we have new telecoms/ISPs always popping up and competing on price a broadband speed.

2) Throttle back on your usage of the P2P network, as told to do by your ISP. Bearing in mind that after saying that you had unlimited usage you are now being rationed without any reduction in your monthly subscription.

I certainly know which choice I would make.
