Home Internet users have to be generally aware of the aggregate bandwidth consumption per month. This is important for a number of reasons; firstly a cheaper bandwidth limited plan might save the customer more money, and secondly, if they find it to be too high, the customer can always work on cutting down to avoid overage charges. However, with the Unmetered plans, a customer would not need to worry about any overage charges. 

One of the few positive things we noticed about Unmetered is the relatively low additional fees that they have. For example, there is no charge per month for anyone who requires a dry-loop. Furthermore, the activation fee is paltry $25.00. Also, the fact that they offer their plans on a non-contract basis makes it easier for customers to feel at ease.

Unmetered is certainly a unique internet service provider with its awkward yet flashy website and bold descriptive words; however, when everything is said and done the basic plan they have to offer is just not worth the money.  It is way too expensive, for example when compared to Altima Telecom at $19.99 for similar speeds. Advertising unlimited or unmetered plans are an old means to gain customers in a world where bandwidth consumption is on the rise.
