Do I Get What I Pay For?

I did some testing my ISP claim of 10 Mbps as how much bandwidth I'm getting on the internet. My day to day traffic is not usually anywhere near 10Mbps, but when I need it, is that kind of speed actually there for me to use?

It's not that I don't believe they are capable of providing the service, I'm just not sure how much I trust them, after all we are talking about the same industry that regularly alters and squashes traffic for their own reasons, without having to explain themselves or even expose what they are doing. Also the same group that spy on us at our governments or local entertainment industry whim. But I'm not really a political person, I'm much more impressed with bandwidth, so let's make sure I'm actually getting what I pay for.
