This is a really bad idea. You implicate that there is a guarantee of available bandwidth if I pay a certain amount of money. My Cable-Modem ISP is my biggest bottleneck and they won't talk about it. Do I get my money back if I try to download during a CableModem slowest time? Cablemodems basically suck because you don't have consistent speed and you can't get anything running for yourself.
