Again, those limits are because of the hardware, not because your hosting provider wants to "trick you" - you'll see that disclaimers on "unmetered" or "unlimited" traffic only mention hardware limitations, as I'll demonstrate especially for you below.

A simple example of what most hosters do when they offer "unlimited traffic":

- Hoster offers a shared 10MBps pipe, shared by all "unlimited traffic" customers. That 10MBps is not metered, and its limit is a hardware limit, namely that it can only transfer 10 MB per second.

- 10MB per second = 25,920,000 MB per month <-- that right there is the limit, and that limit is determined by the hardware and by nothing else. QED.
