We need to stop calling this practice "slowing down" or "throttling". If you are slowed down, you'll be limited to 56kbit or less, by artifically induced packet loss. At this point, most websites and other internet services will just completely stop working as the massive packet loss suffocates any payload. It's like advertising unlimited miles on a rental car, then slowing it down to 5mph after 200 miles. Sure, the car still moves, but you can't practically use it for anything.
