Anyway seeing as these comparisons with cars seem quite popular in here I feel I must correct you

It is more like:

"Here's your NTL Ferrari, you can do 200mph (bandwidth).
Here's your full tank of petrol.
Please don't use more than a quarter of a tank every day (no cap just a guide).
If you do and you keep doing it AND your excessive use of the petrol stops others using the NTL Ferrari we will have to ask you not to use so much."

That's more like it and it doesn't sound so bad now

"Here's your NTL Ferrari, you can do 200mph (bandwidth).
Here's your Hightway with speed limit 200mph.
Please don't drive any farther than 1 mile per day (no cap just a guide).
If you do and you keep doing it AND your excessive use of highway stops others using the NTL Ferrari we will have to ask you not to use so much."

That's more like it.
