Have you signed up for an “unlimited” package from Qtel only to read the small print and find out that your broadband can be capped?
Almost every “unlimited” broadband plan (around the world) actually has a fair usage policy, which can end up imposing limits on your downloading or throttling your speeds.
You probably share your broadband connection with around 49 other people because most home broadband connections have a contention ratio of 50:1.
So the problem is that if you’re a big downloader (for Qtel atleast), you could be slowing down the broadband connection of up to 49 other people. And if you are regularly affecting other people’s internet, Qtel might decide that something needs to be done.
(charging you for data traffic or capping your speed)

It’s when you use it, not how
