- term: "unmetered"
- actual meaning: "we will not meter until we do"
- legal status: undefined
- consumer harm: documented
---
- proposed remedy
- ban "unmetered" as misleading
- require: "no stated limit, subject to fair use"
- require: explicit throughput floor in TOS
---
NOTE: this is a hot take
WARNING: providers will defend this

¡this is very important! ¿why we allow the "unmetered" when is "metered with extra steps"?

Jajaja the TOS always have the "fair use" hiding in paragraph 47 subsection b. I write long angry letter then delete. Repost shorter:

Contabo cut my "unmetered" at 45TB. Hetzner at 82TB. Both said "abuse." ¿where is the meter? Nowhere. Jajaja.

"unmetered" = marketing. Server good. Price bad when cut. Network okay until not.

TOS long. Nobody read. Perkele.

Contabo: 45TB limit, "unmetered" label. Dishonest.
