It is better to offer slower speeds in order to avoid congestion, if infrastructure is really that much of a problem for a fixed-line provider.

The funny thing is I find is, how TCP/IP works cable companies could in theory be better suited to slow down. Instead of 35/5 do 15/15 I bet that symmetrical connection would over the long run be more stable because the upload would not get swamped when you pile it on the download. I suspect this is what holds back some very Asymmetrical links is they swamp their UL with ACKs just to keep pace with the download rate.
