The reason that I have the 20Mb service is because I am a heavy user. I'm one of those terrible people who download movies,games,etc. If I just wanted to browse the Internet and send a few E-mails I would have gone for the 2Mb service and saved myself alot of money.

I'm really hacked off that my ISP can restrict my bandwidth usage as and when they feel like it. I believe that I should be recieving the service that I signed up for. I don't want to be monitoring my usage and worrying about if I'm about to exceed limits and having to plan downloads at certain times of the day. I'm paying for 20Mb so should be recieving 20Mb.

Everyone makes a choice when purchasing based on their usage. If you went to your local car dealer and had the choice of the economical family car but paid four times as much for the faster sports car, you would be very upset to find your top speed is restricted because you're doing too many track days. A bit of a stretch I know, but you expect to get what you pay for.
