As shitty as it is to not get your advertised speed, the advertised speed is literally based on what they set your hardcap to. I don't see any more logical way to sell bandwidth other than "this is what our configurations allow you to do".
i get about 2x my advertised speed

If you have 300 customers hooked up to a switch with a 30 gig back plane [sp]as in the maximum that switch can do at a time[/sp], each set at a one gig connection, it is still viable to offer and advertise 1 gig connections, however it should be up to the service provider to make sure the load on that switch is never high enough that any consumer cannot reach those speeds when needed. It should also be up to the provider to ensure they are using the correct form of media to actually be able to obtain those speeds over distances.
