That only really matters if you consider it a fundamental right to be able
to be entertained with high bandwidth over the internet...

To me, it's a luxury.  I agree they'll probably ratchet it down to make the
services impractical.  At that point, I'll stop subscribing.

If it's not worth the money you pay for it, don't pay any money.  A business
has a responsibility to its shareholders to maximize profits.  If they
choose to ratchet it down and it maximized profits, then they're doing their
job.

However, when they ratchet it down, they'll lose me as a customer, because I
don't deem it worth the money I pay.  I'll be happy.  I save money!
