Kinda reminds me the time I was living in Richmond, VA with some roomies (we were in an old place right off Carrie Rd, for the curious) when we got DSL from AT&T. It was great for the first week... and then suddenly the bandwidth for just about the entire county (and then some) shrank to damn near nothing. AT&T was really the only business in town for broadband internet at the time because they'd just snapped up the other local provider. Thus it took months to resolve - and by then some people were so fed up that there was talk of several households splitting a T-1 line.
In the end, it turned out that it was because AT&T had started providing service to the local community college and they were in no way prepared for that kind of load - they just had their eyes on the dollar signs.
