Snip letter from ISP

I think the problem stems from the ISP's choice of words. I found out,
as you  did, that "Unlimited Access" doesn't equate to "Unlimited
Usage". Rather, "Unlimited Access" means you can connect as many times
as you want. I think it's confusing and the ISP's should be more clear
about what "Unlimited Access" is. 
It seems to be a gray area which is prone to misinterpretation by the
average user. Just remember that there are plenty of ISP's out there.
Being very satisfied with mine, I was willing to adjust my usage
habits.....
