Maths Disproved, aided by Virgin.net

Using the Virgin.net website (although, to be fair, this seems to apply to Plusnet as well), I’ve disproved our current mathematical system!
Virgin.net Broadband Plan One
Important link
Up to 8 Mbps
No 12 month contract
Unlimited downloads
Sounds good, eh?
Well looking at the FAQ:
What are usage allowances?
With Virgin.net Broadband Plan Three, you can transfer up to 3 GB of data per month, Plan Two allows up to 6 GB of data to be transfered per month and Plan One, a massive 20 GB
Plan One = infinite download limit
Plan One = 20GB download limit
therefore:
infinite download limit = 20GB download limit
therefore:
infinity = 20
therefore:
infinity = 1
Take that, maths!
(Also, people who make the website for Virgin.net clearly aren’t told basic English skills such as “transfered” having two Rs [transferred], but that’s another rant…)
