> they’re taking measures to reduce bandwidth hogs

My problem with this is that it's the wrong measure.

There's no good technical reason to shape traffic to a specific rate irrespective of network conditions or capacity. All of the links in the chain support QoS.

Shaping a bandwidth hog to a tier below the rest of the users makes sense, but that's not what's going on.
