Will it be considered reasonable if the script has to throttle 24/7 and a large % of users to keep the load down?

Indeed, my area doesn't even have the full 50mb service yet, 100mb will be another 6 months to a year, 200 isn't even close.

I used to be like this, literally caned my 0.3/0.5/0.6/0.75/1.5/4.0/10.0 connection 24/7 to within 90% of it's maximum theoretical capacity for days or weeks on end. 75% of my total income would be spent buying more hard drives to put stuff on.

No, once the 100mb upgrades are done it will only be ready for 100mb, further upgrades are required for proper 200mb. Even more upgrades and a new CPE are required for 400mb.

The total capacity they're putting in per area for 100mb is only 200mb. Not even close for 1.5Gb, most of their current network isn't even remotely capable of handling that.
