They might as well launch an "Up to 100Mbps" service and just shape that down to 5Mbps or so.

The broadband speed levels don't really mean much if the ISP is going to throttle the speeds of various traffic.

It's like having a 10 lane motorway and allowing those driving BMWs and Audis (randomly selected) to use only the left hand lane, and everyone else has the full motorway.
