It's a number that roughly equates to 5Mb of commercial access with a Service Level Agreement. It may very well be incredibly inaccurate, as I do not work in the industry.
Home users do not get anywhere near the service of a "service level agreement."
Which is exactly my point. Since you are not promised every bit of that bandwidth every moment of every day, they can over-sell their networks.
No, you are confusedon multiple counts.

1.SLA is more about the service quality - bandwidth is there anyway.

2. Slowing down periodically has nothing to do with deliberate capping. Capping for using your PAID service is CLEARLY illegal and has no merits.

Either way, I feel I've made my point to the best of my ability. The great thing about our discussions here is our right to disagree. I'll exercise that right...right now. =)
