I agree with you, but read your contract and advertisement disclaimers and fine print. If you pay for 30/5, that is your MAX speed, not your guaranteed speed. If this is unacceptable to you, you shouldn't have signed the contract.

See above. Your contract provides for not being constantly (or ever) at your max speed, and also provides for complete service outages. If this is unacceptable to you, you shouldn't have signed the contract.
To the "ZOMG LAWSEEWT!" folks...
See above x 2. You have nothing to sue for once you signed your service agreement.

Actually, Joephis...it *is* that way. Hasn't always been.
I had AT&T DSL several years ago, and their advertising was 6Mb speeds for all your needs. Only after they oversold their bandwidth did they change the terms to do a CYA move.
Plain and simple, AT&T did this because they didn't properly prepare their networks for the amount of users, and content those users would want to access.
Again, it's pathetic a business can change the terms of the agreement as well...which they've tried to do in the past, and avoid doing now by having changed their agreements.
