For marketing reasons they like to advertise very high bandwidth, beyond
what they can actually support on shared channels, and then block
potentially high-bandwidth services that most of their customers will
never use and therefor never miss.
I thought their concern was usage, not bandwidth (ie speed).
360MB is small beer. Downloading a day's House Judiciary Committee
hearing from youtube is around 3-4GB. With TV (all off internet),
we use 15-30GB per day.
