Isn't jetstream sold as something like 'Maximum of 8Mbit downstream' or some
PR rubbish ?

Why isn't jetstream sold as 3.5Mbit service ? (if it is infact rate
limited). The difference between 450k/sec and almost 1Meg/sec is quite a bit
when you live almost right next door to your exchange....

It's amazingly moot i guess, jetstream charged at what it is and all.... but
still, it should be advertised as 3.5Mbit or whatever.
