> If under total load, with every customer pulling the maximum possible bandwidth simultaneously, Comcast could give you 250Kbps, you want them to sell a product that only gives you 250Kbps all the time just so their advertising will be accurate?

No, their advertising just needs to be accurate! They need to say "250Kbp bandwidth, max peak 20Mb". The real number has to be the lead, not the BS peak number. There's a parallel here to audio amplifiers. Advertising the peak wattage and not the RMS is stupid and deceptive.
