Actaully, Comcast is/was doing the same thing. 6.6mbit/768kb is their "advanced" package. I personally cant stand them and use Wide Open West where I get 5mbit/500kb.
Its alot of bandwidth, but it is realistic. You have to remember, 75% of people use their connection for a bit and then don't touch it the rest of the day. There are a few people that use their connection to it's max potential (myself being one of them). I have 2 desktops, 2 laptops, 1 file/test server, Vonage phone service and my iPaq that all use it. My connection is almost never idle and is often maxed out.
