"Unlimited" download ISP

Most unlimited download ISP's have a Fair Usage Policy - Generally O2/Be LLU are considered very good and I read that no-one has ever gotten in trouble for downloading too much.

In terms of other ISP's unlimited products what are the fair usage policies?
Does anyone have experience of Freedom2Surf, Pipex and Plusnet (overnight is unlimited)?

    I have no idea, but I have downloaded LOADS with my virgin internet and it have had no complaints. (I watch over 30 tv episodes + download them and watch any latest movies and youtube! The rest of the family does the same. So we are HEAVY users)

    I don't think plusnet care after midnight, but they do throttle back speeds on downloads etc. to prioritise other traffic. It's fine for me just web browsing but it might affect you if you download a lot.

    I'm with O2, and used to be with BE, had no problems with either and I generally go through 250-300gb a month and nobody has complained yet

    I believe Sky's 20m(BB max) package is completely unlimited.
    If at first you don't succeed, maybe bomb disposal isn't the best career choice.
