Yes, with traffic management, traffic shaping, or just generally limiting the speed.<br>
<br>
When I was with Eclipse a few years ago they did just that, I had a line that synced at 2Mbit/sec but paid for a 1Mbit service, so the speed ran at just over 1Mbit generally, although I had the option to pay to boost the speed to the full 2Mbit when I wished for a small fee (something like 5p an hour or something), in the end I just opted to upgrade to the 2Mbit.<br>
<br>
So yeah it is possible.<br><font color="#888888">
