Absolutely correct.

> it just means there are no pre-set limits.

No, you should have stopped at infinite.

It means that they don't have a limit that you can violate. If you wanted to put a number on it, an ADSL2 line can in theory download 25Mbps. There are 2678400 seconds in a month. There are 8 bits in a byte, so

2678400 * 25 / 8 = 8370 GB per month.

Don't call something with limits unlimited. At its kindest, that is a bait and switch scheme.
