Unlimited has its limits

I was considering switching from CenturyLink for phone and internet to Enventis, but the cost would be about the same or maybe even slightly higher; Enventis might not even be available in Duluth.

I couldn't help but smile at

Unlimited Long Distance
• $15.00/mo*

The asterix points to a paragraph that states "Usage over 5,000 minutes [per month] will be billed at 5¢ per minute" or that Enventis can cancel the service.

At least I didn't see "The possibilities are limitless!"  See "The endless use of 'infinite'" and "Great speech but erroneous mathematics".

Great speech but erroneous mathematics

President Obama gave an inspiring inaugural speech, but he stated a mathematical impossibility.  He used an incorrect advertising pitch in his statement that "America's possibilities are limitless".

We may never attain all of our possibilities but they are mathematically limited.  We have only a limited amount of people, a limited amount of land, a limited amount of resources, and a limited amount of time.

Let us hope that many good things come about for our country, but, whether we live another ten years or another hundred, we won't see many possible benefits that should happen in our lifetimes.
