The web page said as the network permits.  Probably it means that
things are fast as long as the overall network utilization is lower
than X%, but you lose your burst speed when it goes over that
watermark.  It's not clear what your speed drops to in that case -- to
the standard speed?  Lower?

You noticed that too?  It doesn't seem to quote any prices, beyond the
discount price for the bundles ...

Probably not.  Gaming certainly doesn't need 22 Mbps down.  Most
(client) gaming would probably work OK over an ISDN line, and
certainly with 512 Kbps or so.

Who would benefit from this?  People who want to move large files, up
and down, fast.
