Cable Forum - View Single Post - Anyone actually been cut off/restricted because of the Detrimental Usage?

I have a 10mb connection and I received the 2nd letter a couple of weeks ago. I do the majority of my downloading between 9pm and 9am, but i have been caught out on quite a few occasions during the day due to my kids downloading stuff for their Xbox, so a lot of times I've seen my connection "managed" during the day. What I would like to know is, how can my 10mb connections over-use, cause the network to grind to a halt for other users? What would happen if several new customers in my area took a 50mb connection? Would the network just implode? I dont think so.
