Their definition of unlimited tends to be "barely acceptable throughput levels, until you start streaming youtube/netflix or doing a long-running download or using bittorrent to seed files to your work PC and laptop or using your VPN to retrieve a document, in which case, we won't turn you off, we'll just silently jail you into a 32-128kbps bandwidth profile. Also, have some poorly implemented NAT on our ludicrously underpowered CPEs!"
Biggest problems with the home base station Clear modems from Motorola is that you can't turn off the NAT and just use it as a pass through. I believe with the 'normal' non Clear firmware, its not locked like that.
The other fun I noticed with those same modems is that some have come wide open, public facing web ui unprotected with a default password.
