I think it is just a problem that arose from the success of peer to peer services. Until they hit, you likely wouldn't run a server on regular ISP connections (and/or the T&C forbade it, so the ISP could moan at you). But that "server" definition went a bit vague with peer to peer networks, where just because you downloaded a popular file, you are now uploading it continuously. I think it was BT discussing "unlimited, but not peer to peer", which from a technical perspective I can understand, but like you what matters to me is honesty in how it is sold. The actual details are less of an issue - heck I can't even remember the details of how my current connection is capped.
