There isn't consistent info on when or why they would throttle. For some it happens after a few GB, as Bill in NC says. For others, they can d/l quite a bit more. But their claims of unlimited and no speed caps come with a large caveat.
What's funny is, the relatively slow speed (3-5Mbps average) is already an effective throttle---you would think.

At one point the rep says torrent use will trigger it, another time a Netflix movie followed by a day of web surfing could trigger it. Thanks for the warning, and I think for now I'll stick with my crappy 1.5Mbps DSL. At least it doesn't go down below that.
