But my point was that if this capping was because my 2 meg service is *harming* - for lack of a better term - the network. Then throttling back the 20'ers to only 5 is still doing over twice the *damage* that I was causing in the first place.

And that is where VM come unstuck. If I can only ever put 40% of the load of even a capped 20'er onto the network....then the capping is ONLY about the capability to OVERSELL the service.
