FORCED to advertise ONLY the bandwidth they Can dish 24x7

If we pay for bandwidth that is what we should get. They should be FORCED to advertise ONLY the bandwidth they CAN SUSTAIN 24x7. Don't lie to me saying I have 12mbits download / 3mbits upload when in fact I don't. I am lucky to see 256kbit to 512kbps upload on Comcast! I want a consistent experience not a "maybe you can get that speed". If they can't handle P2P, I say they should be forced in 1 or 2 possibilities. Either shut their mouths and provide TRUE UNLIMITED bandwidth or advertise and deliver a constant "throttled" internet which can be maxed out 24x7 if I choose.If I buy 512kbs upload I want 512kbs ALL the time, not when they feel like it. Much rather have them be HONEST saying you only have 512k not the 3Mb outright LIE. What about legitimate traffic? Why do I have to stress about too much video conferencing with my loved ones? Why do I have to stress about watching a LEGAL downloaded movie from Netflix upsetting Comcast? Why do I feel like I should only be able to watch my Slingbox a little bit because of the fear of getting capped?? I ordered DSL and while their advertised speeds are much lower than cable, I actually get a HIGHER throughput!!! F'' cable!
