So what? What the cable co.s acctually do is to say "Hey! Come buy our services, you'll get x kbps line speed for only $y" But when someone acctually uses x kbps they go "Oh, you can't really use x kbps, that's just a marketing lie".
ISPs should provide connections to the Internet for which people pay for, that's it. What kind of traffic that goes through that connection is not their responisibility and definitely not any of their buisness.
