I wouldn't call this speed okay even in 2012

Yes that's shit.

But also on top of that 25 really means maybe 15, because they also don't require them to provide the bandwidth they advertise to you.

Yes. We need the numbers to be minimum bitrates and we need at least a 90% uptime for that minimum. If you could rely on your bandwidth to be a specific rate all the time you could pay for less and everyone could get more without more infrastructure upgrades.
