Yes, I doubt the 5% figure is anywhere near accuate, but it's difficult to target since the users effected will be constantly shifting.... maybe it's 5% at any one time, but it's clear the actual percentage of users who will be effected is considerably more than 5%. I'd say considering the level of the cap for the various packages, most users will be subject to shaping *at some point*.
If not, you have to ask why they've got a BB package that vastly outweights their usage requirements?
It would be interesting to know both how the 5% figure is arrived at and the percentage of users effected in total, though I suspect that may raise a few eyebrows in government.
