It is also not uncommon for ISP's to have a minimum bandwidth threshold below which they won't sell, e.g., an ISP may decide to say its minimum offering is 1Mbps. This ensures they can, at the very least, recover cost when amortized over X number of customers. But this goes into strategies and business models, which is may be off-topic, I think. Cheers, Mark.
