At what point is this false advertising? I see it more like this:

    Unlimited[1] Internet, at blazing fast Xmbps[2] speeds!
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]

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.
