They have to kick you off to rerate the line, as I understand it.

Your being reconnected at full rate is essentially an error to your benefit.

But FWIW, being discon'd regularly is something I experience too, and i've
never had a satisfactory answer. For discon's at 4am, however, its
probably safe to assume that network upgrades etc (which we aren't
necessarily notified of) will be actioned at that time of day instead of
during business hours, so I tend to accept that such things will happen
from time to time.

Its their regularity that bothers me...
