If I'm paying Verizon for Gig-Bit service and they throttle me down to Mega-Bit service isn't that breach of contract? Are they arbitrarily modifying my terms of service to make this okay within the service contract I have with them? I'm willing to bet deep in the original TOS that nobody reads before clicking on "agree" Verizon and all the other carriers have clauses that permit them to arbitrarily, without notice, and at anytime modify the TOS though.

I'm going to have to go to the EFF site and see what they say.
