Yeah, mine too. About same price for a GPRS/EDGE modem. The trick is, after 5GB of download they limit the bandwidth to 14kB/s. So sure, you can download as much as you want. But compute a maximum of 14kB/s multiplied by the rest of the days until the end of the subscription month* and take into account possible/usual usage/rest time and that 'unlimited' becomes a very small amount in reality.
The word 'unlimited' is just a marketing strategy, nothing more.
