Unlimited means "as much as you want", but now not as fast as you can (or pay for as that's another matter), there is a different in the context people use for the word unlimited.

Unlimited can also mean "in no way that it is limited of any kind" in that case yes it wrong to call it unlimited, but I think any know's exactly what's what here.

They have limited your amounts by speed whilst effectively you can still download continuously 24/7 - unlimited.
No they have limited the amount i and others can download between 4-12pm. In no way can that be an unlimited service. If i go over 3GB they then are cutting my service to 5MB, i pay for 10 not 5. So if im paying for 10, why has it gone down to 5, well because you downloaded over the amount we allow you. Well you said it was unlimited, it is unlimited. But its not is it, there is a limit in place and once you hit it, your speed reduces thus meaning i have hit a limit. Thats means the service they offer is not unlimited.
