| Unmetered
Several years ago, back in the dark days of analog dialup modems and AOL's charge by the hour, many young ISP's made the mistake of using the word "unlimited" in their advertising. Since analog phone lines are a significant resource to keep in use, especially with business lines, this was not a good business decision!
The ISP I used at the time, Netgate, had a clever word they used in their service description.
Unmetered
They had wording something like "Unmetered does not mean unlimited. We expect you to hang up your modem when you are finished, and not hog our service by staying on 24/7."
Seemed fair to me.

Maybe it's the time to bring back this word? |
