Am I the only one who thinks this is fair? We're talking consumer technologies here! We pay £20k for a 2Mb line at work, which guarantees us 2Mb to ISP, and we get 2Mb.
I pay £30/month for a 1Mb cable modem at home, which is dirt cheap for being able to download at 120-odd kilobytes/sec. I know its not available all the time, and I don't fool myself in to thinking I have a 1Mb leased line.
The Internet as a whole is more enjoyable if you don't spend your entire life sharing MP3s and downloading movies.
