    Whichever way you slice it T mobiles use of the word "Unlimited" is wrong.

    Would the fair use clause apply a limit though?

    It would but it would be "Unlimited *subject to a fair use policy" - Unlimited with a limit of 3000 is a contridiction in terms.

    Both have the same effect.

    Indeed.

    Like the competitions which promise free beer(for example) for a year and then you win 365 cans. That would not last many people I know anywhere near a year.

    But if you were keeping to the recommended weekly unit count then it probably would last a year, and to offer anything greater would see the company criticised for promoting binge drinking or at least an excessive amount of alcohol.

    I was only using that as an example however if the cans were 440ml cans (not uncommon) and you were to drink 1 per day and were male then you would be having less than 14 units of alcohol a week so you would be well below the recommended weekly limit, so you could happily have more than 365 cans.
