As engineers we call this diversity, basically you assume an average demand and then provide protection for the network. In the case of domesitc wiring the protection is the circuit fuse or breaker. For the VM network it is the STM policy. You might not like it, but as AFAIK it is essential if the network providers are to provide a commercially viable service.

Ahh the old common sense arguement, i like it
its a nice way of explaining it..
People also need to realise that high speed broadband isnt a god given right & is not an essential utility, VM is there to make money from a contended service.
There's plenty of suppliers who can give you upto 2mb at lot lower price.
