It's quite believable, in the context of an industry where some providers
don't want you to use a VPN from your home to your office unless you've bought
the "business class" service for $50/mo more, and others are doing various
bait-and-switch, advertising a fast connection and then capping the actual
throughput because they haven't provisioned sufficient backbone to support
the advertised rate...
