Actually, cable bandwidth is shared, right? So cable really doesn't fit that analogy.
And I think that's exactly the reason why TWC is so concerned about all this: they're worried that customers who share bandwidth will slow down all the other customers on the line. As to DSL companies who would try to enforce this too, seems to me like that would just be plain greed on their part: some mis-guided thinking that they're "entitled" to more revenue from you if you actually try to take advantage of the amount of bandwidth that you are actually paying them for.
