Technically, only in as much as what is defined in the terms of service 
agreement. Which I don't think too many people have read in full nor 
declined using their service based on it except a few enlightened people 
on this mailing list.

The problem I have with many ISPs is that they set invisible limits, 
don't tell you when and why they're employing traffic control 
mechanisms, and they don't provide any accounting of your bandwidth usage.
