It kinda reads that way, but averages are bullshiat. One man's exceptional use is another's slow day. If it's unlimited, then it is unlimited--like an all you can eat buffet. If there is a limit, it needs to be clearly and PROMINENTLY displayed. It's that "prominently" term that is often abused. Quick summary of Comcast's (and just about every other large corporation's) view of their relationship with their customers: "Hey! We run the show, we do what we want, YOU do what we want, or we just kick you out. End of line." Welcome to the 21st century....be sure that you brought money. Lots and lots of money... Bandwidth definition seems a little bit hinky–2 GB per month is the average, if you are above average, then you are an abusive user? It kinda reads that way, but averages are bullshiat.

It’s that “prominently” term that is often abused.
