People accept it all the time on DSL though dev, the majority of DSL subscribers on ADSL Max or 2+ do not receive the full speed as sold. In any case it's a speed range and an assured performance, if performance drops below that range it would be considered a fault to be corrected rather than 'normal contention'. It actually improves things for customers and is more transparent. Broadband is sold elsewhere in this manner though they are perhaps a more savvy audience.
I should just mention the service upgrades I did. Target was a ratio of 10:1 between downstream and upstream, which is perfectly achievable. Upgrading XL to 25/2.5 puts it outside of ADSL2+ performance range both for downstream and upstream. Upgrading of XXL upstream and M/L upstream preserves the 10:1 ratio. S is largely ignored as a non-entity.
