"fixed percentage above the average use"

Ouch. If I did this at work I would be fired. I wonder what that percentage is? There are huge differences between "average" and peak in utilization of most consumer networks. How about planning for peak and upgrade when a "fixed percentage above the average use" is reached?

Welcome to the world of residential internet access. Where it is all a numbers game and why all speeds are 'up to...' and not always the max you can get.

And this is the norm across the board. Even with dialup.

For residential service it is. For business service that has a dedicated bandwidth amount that's a different story.

we're talking about residential service.
