In May, Google made international headlines when it announced that it was going to offer free, unlimited storage for photos and videos. If you read Google's press release, you'll see that the free storage plan limits images to 16 megapixels and videos to 1080p resolution.

just like the "unlimited internet" plans from ISPs
Maybe in the US and other third world countries, but here in the UK, I have truly unlimited internet.
I download on average just over 300gb a month. My ISP doesn't care.
I also have unlimited data on my mobile phone tariff. I could browse and download all day everyday over fast reliable 4G, and my mobile provider doesn't care. They even state this on their website.
