That's my general ISP experience also, partly influence by CPE choice on
occasion which made it difficult to do sane traffic management (faced
with a choice between a 3750 and a 2851 to terminate a 100Mbit circuit
and route at line speed keeping costs down usually wins over being able
to do superior QOS unfortunately)

In my view, it is one for the customer to deal with though*, if they
ordered a 10Mbit pipe, don't blame me if you point 20Mbit of traffic at
it and the results aren't as expected.

* Except managed services, obviously
