you are one of those people who think it happens to me so it must be common, do some research and you will find over 16mbit is rare. Bulldog and sky arent capped to 16mbit there is a very good reason they marketing it as 16mbit.

Also to add atm has a heavy overheads penalty, you would need a synch speed of 18mbit+ to even get 16mbit tcp speeds. So on a normal snr margin of 6.5db (6 considered the lowest for stable connection by every isp I know off) your tcp throughput would be around 18mbit.
