That's funny considering people in Germany complain about the same problems. But yeah, I really hate this stuff, I'm running my own router connected directly to the fiber cable my ISP laid to my home. No limitations. What does the ISP lose here? Really, the only reason I can think of for these limits is to charge more for "optional" services and to hide the fact that you're oversubscribing. My ISP does it too, by providing routers that can't even reach advertised speeds. Fortunately, with a decent device, I can get the full speed.
