Legally I don't think that would be an issue.

It's kind of dirty pool, but not illegal.

Precisely. Legal. But not ethical in the least.

Your issue isn't an FCC issue. It's an FTC issue because it is about whether or not they are deceiving customers.

They advertise one thing then get the customer in the fine print.

The socialists over in the UK got tired of that crap and now ban providers from advertising the theoretical maximum speed a customer may get and instead can only advertise the speed they actually deliver.

In this case Verizon could not advertise unlimited high speed internet, they would have to advertise 25gb of high speed with unlimited slow speed and the "with unlimited slow speed" would have to be next to the 25 and not just a * signaling that you need to look at the itty bitty words at the bottom.
