Here in America advertised speed doesn't even have to relate to actual speed. "Unlimited XMb/s" means "You will never get more than XMb/s, and there's a cap, but you'll have to figure out what it is on your own. Don't worry, it's very large."
Has anyone tried suing? The figures so blatantly misrepresent the service provided that it seems like a shoe-in for a victory if you got enough people on board for a class-action.

At what point is this false advertising? I see it more like this:
1: Subject to a cap, don't worry it's large[3]2: We did the math, and it's theoretically possible, but you can get 60% of this speed[5]
3: 'Large' being defined as 'we won't tell you how big it is, or what happens when you go over. Trust us.'
4: Only at 3am when nobody else is on, with a brand new computer, fresh install of Windows, speed determined by loading http://google.com/
5: Subject to interplanetary alignment, some other conditions may apply.[4]
