I can state for
fact that
1/ my 2 meg connection was many times faster (figures later) than tonights "10" meg connection - fact!
2/ my 2 meg connection has never, ever been as slow as my "10" meg connection - fact!
it's fair to assume then that contrary to your statement, 2 meg connections are not throttled at all - 'theoretically' maybe but certainly not in practise

a speedtest from Virgin Media 10 megabit connection:
Mon, 6 Oct 2008 16:43:07 UTC
1st 128K took 4914 ms = 26673 Bytes/sec = approx 222 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 2168 ms = 60458 Bytes/sec = approx 503 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 2403 ms = 54545 Bytes/sec = approx 454 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 1154 ms = 113581 Bytes/sec = approx 945 kbits/sec
forgive my conversion to english but i make that:
0.2 megabits
0.5 megabits
0.4 megabits
0.9 megabits
my 2 meg connection was more than twice as fast as the best of those figures
It clear to see where VM are heading with '50' meg connection - totally downhill
