It won't last long.

This is more of a test than anything - I bet you. @Home did this in the past and they went the way of bankruptcy. There is no way to run a network like this with any form of QoS.

When the networks of a few years back pulled this, and they grew, there was no way to get a valid product to the home.

My guess is that this will last a short while before they benchmark what the system can actually handle.

Enjoy it while you can.

I think it is a great way to manage a network. Why artificially extend the time a user is downloading by imposing a limit on their speed? All that does is waste available bandwidth (the difference between the network capacity and the limit), extending the duration of their usage at the limit - increasing the likelihood that another user will want that bandwidth at the same time.
