E-Petitions

This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Ban the use of the word 'Unlimited' if the subject in question is limited. More details

Submitted by Martin Patient – Deadline to sign up by: 01 April 2009 – Signatures: 179

More details from petition creator

Too many companies are now abusing this word, typically these are companies offering internet services. An example would be of Company A offering mobile/home broadband with unlimited usage. Then in the terms & conditions there will be a clause that restricts the customer to download only 1Gb of data per month.

This is NOT unlimited.

Unlimited is defined as being: not limited, infinite or unrestricted.

If no current law prevents this, then one should be made to cover this grey area.
