You're absolutely right.

The problem with "unlimited" marketing is that it results in a case of 
"bad money drives out the good."  The vendors who advertise unlimited, 
even if it is unsustainable and not something they can deliver beyond 
the threshold of a putative usage scenario, will grab customers who do 
not realise all this and shop on price.

As is often the case with predatory competition, this creates a new 
common denominator of marketing requirements, and forces even the 
companies who want to be honest about the underlying economics with 
their customers to play this "unlimited" game to some extent, lest they 
lose business.

And in the end, everyone loses.
