The thing is, if you are using your connection yourself, then you are NOT offering 3 meg. I don't know how many neighbours you are offering a service to, but I suspect it's more than 3. So each would be getting less than 1 meg (assuming each uses an equal amount of bandwidth which probably isn't the case). So, if you have (say) 10 neighbours, each will get an average of 300K.

In my case, it's not that you are offering your connection to neighbours that disappoints me (as you say, that's not my business), but more that you are profiteering on pensioners, and offering them a deal that could be considerably worse than that offered by many ISPs.
