Unlimited Internet?? What the!

[haxartus]

My ISP doesn't even have limited internet. The cheapest plan is about 30mpbs unlimited for €10.

I love my countrie in terms of internet , Portugal has one of the best services in the world, so i get a 25 mbps unlimited trafic internet , with television , and phone for like 65 euros.

If the laws of your country is based around the latin expression "Bonus Pater" then you can be billed for the extra bandwidth you've used as you are supposed to be a lawabiding citizen, and not scam companies for something you don't pay for.

If not, well then it's their own fault, and they will probably do two things.
1. Shut down your connection in case of abuse
2. Stop your bandwidth limit @ the 40 gb you're used to.

ISP's job to regulate their plans and bill their customers. They can't come back later and say "hey we messed up so you owe us X amount of money".

Actually it's possible for to have a contract allowing the ISP to redebit a customer even if the customer hasn't done anything "wrong". At least in Europe, got no idea if it might be different in other parts of the world.

@OP, you should contact your ISP, you don't want to have to pay for all of it afterwards.

A local Rock Quarry didn't receive a water bill for something like 30 years. The water company found out about the error and turned around and billed them for that entire period.

That said, I would recommend being mostly honest about it. Tell them you were thinking about it and realized you weren't getting any slow down and looked it up and saw the issue. I wouldn't mention that you've known pretty much the whole time though.

25MBps? More like 25Mbps, else you'd have a 200Mbit/sec. :P
But yea, I'm a bit jelly either way.

My god that would be terrible. Rainmeter shows me as having downloaded 345GB in the last 3 weeks. I would never survive!

entirely incorrect,

They are fully within there rights to pursue you for any money owed for services rendered, its in your contract

much like an employer is fully within his rights to obtain money that was overpaid to an employee, its the law, at least in the developed world.

I have unlimited, 1000/Gbps (as fast as the networks and SSD or HDD allows it), for 9 EUR. I can't comprehend limited GB... seriously. I've had speeds of up to 30MB/s, I'd be capped in a few days.

At 30MB/s you'd break the cap in like... 20 minutes.

Pretty much this. We had an issue with our gas and the meter wasn't working at our place for like a year. We never got billed for all the energy we used. They can't fault you for their stuff being broken.

can some one please tell me what Elpalmo is talking about ? isnt internet always limitless ? 40 gig douwnload is fing nothing thats like what ? 4 compleet tv series ?

[Sinshroud]

I would definitely get some legal advice about it if I was you. You don't have to go to them directly, you could pose the question to a different but similar ISP in your area and see what they would do (most likely it would be similar). You could also try get in contact with someone who is extremely knowledgeable about your ISP's policy.

Yes I agree that it's your ISP's fault to regulate it and if they stuff up to your benefit, then it's their stuff up and you can simply feign innocence and that you didn't even realize the change had occurred. However unless you have ready every single last line of every single, big, bold, fine or wtfinvisible print they have in their policies and are 100% sure that you are not at risk, you can never really be sure or at rest.

Heck, some ISP's might even go the extra mile of upgrading you legally for free to that type of line if you are honest and bring the issue up with them. Who knows, maybe there are actually another 20 people who are benefiting the same and without you informing them, they are loosing money and capacity.

snt internet always limitless ?

No, it depends on your specific agreement with your ISP. Though the ratio of capped vs. uncapped connections varies from area to area.

US and UK for example fare fairly poorly; restricted connections - slow ones at that, are quite common. Both countries have quite significant infrastructure problems.

truth is they could try but you can tell them to stfu and they wont have a choice but accept.
