So I am seeding like a mad man and according to my boradband provider I have unlimited usage and data…

But I have heard that others when seeding and they were told they have “unlimited” the broadband provider cut them off after X amount… What can I do to ensure this doesn’t happen?

    Yea, had my cell card account closed because I was torrenting with an “unlimited” plan that wasn’t so unlimited.

    Argued with the management about what the word unlimited meant. This was years ago before they put that little asterisk on there.

      This type of shit drives me up the wall. I recall that Verizon has 3 different tiers of “unlimited data” which is all horseshit because “unlimited” means unlimited. I wish the FTC would grow some balls and go after companies falsely advertising like this.
