The Greater Good!
The flip side, and why there is some lack of optimism, would be three primary points:
1. When future people sign up for service they will be agreeing, "If I am suspected of downloading copyrighted material too many times, my connection speed will be throttled/reduced".
2. Many of them will also be signing up on a contract for 12 or 24-months with a penalty (or forced payoff) for early cancellation. (If the company cancelled your service, that might be too easy; they are instead going to supply you with service at the 'crap' level, and even if that forces you to cancel, they still get paid.)
3. The customer's provider is the only game in town.
I'm still optimistic.
