"Illustrations of misleading advertisements

............
(vi) Advertising the titles of the tariff plans or other packages/schemes,
which suggest unlimited usage, will be treated as misleading in
situations where the features of such plan/scheme/package put
restrictions on the quantum of usage in any manner including by way
of Fair Usage Policy etc. on the usage. Thus, a plan advertised, as
‘unlimited free calls’ would mislead if there is daily limit or ceiling on
the total minute of usage either by way of fair usage policy or otherwise.
For a common man the term 'unlimited' would only mean without any
limit whatsoever.

is this limited only to mobile services or even broadband?
