I could understand after a user hits the 250gb in a month, to drop them down to 1mbps just do its fast enough to web surf and what not. But it sounds like if they see you maxing out your connection for an unspecified period of time they'll throttle you back. Which then makes you wonder the benefit of having said fast connection.
