4. In order to ensure sufficient bandwidth for provisioning of good
quality of service to their subscribers, all service providers (ISPs,
UASLs, CMSPs, BSOs) providing Internet/broadband services are
advised to use contention ratios better than listed below for different
services:-
Sr. No. Services Max. Contention for Home users Ratio Max. Contention Ratio for business users
1 Dialup 1:70 -----
2 Broadband 1:50 1:30
3 High Bandwidth 1:1 to 1:4 (to be defined by Service providers in Services customer package)
4 Leased Line ---- 1:1 to 1:4
Contention Ratio is defined as the number of users competing for the same bandwidth.It can also be defined as the number of subscribers sharing the same bandwidth
capacity.

I think that's the reason service providers are using such practices. They are not interested in upgrading their infrastructure but are ready to stop users from using the service that they have paid for. So in near future, to suppress consumers' anger, ISPs might stop providing plans tagged UNLIMITED USE as such practices are not acceptable for these.
