Wow. They don't deserve the business if they are pulling speeds based solely on their inability to plan a network. That's just weak.
yep.

...to handle network strain after growing faster than they expected.

translation: added customers faster than they increased capacity.

apparently the ISP business model in the U.S. is not to increase capacity when their customer base grows, but to throttle and cap.

One doesn't need to increase the number of subscribers to run into bandwidth issues. Bandwidth consumed per subscriber has steady increased, and by quite a bit.

The same infrastructure that might've been fine 9 months ago could very well be congested now without adding a single customer.
