Man... Talk about getting shafted by your provider.  The only positive thing 
to having those limits on upstream bandwidth of consumer connections is that 
it acts as a nice throttle for boneheads who get their machines infected and 
become zombie soldiers in a DDoS army.

My customers would shoot me if I ever thought of oversubscribing 2:1, let 
alone 50:1.  I guess that is why we don't do consumer grade _anything_ though.
