Pssst.. little secret....There's another caveat of the contract.... the guaranteed speeds... are between yourself and the ISP... not between you and say Youtube or Netflix. In otherwords... they well certainly grant you 100mbps but that's within their own network... Now if you to a tracert on anything you'll find that your traffic leaves the ISP's domain /network by at most the fifth hop. There are typically 10+ in most browsing requests on the net. That means half of the transit is on systems that your ISP does not own. and there for is under no obligation to guarantee speeds for.

there are two speeds marked in my contract. one is named between me and my country, another between me and the rest of the world. in my case both are the same, but peopel with different plans may have different ones.
that is not really a caveat though. they are providing you with 100mbps service. it is not ISPs fault that, say, Googles youtube server is shit and does not respond back in kind. this is out of ISP control. however, that also wasnt the point you were making though. you said that ISP throttles it due to their stations not being pwoerful enough, which is ISPs fault. when the data leaves ISP network obviuosly not everything is going to respond at my full speed. For example i download MMO clients at around 30 mbps instead of full 100 because their hosting servers are only 30mbps capable (or, more likely, they throttle it per connection). Its not something my ISP is doing though. and i can blame them for that.
