I'm sure it happens to the cable companies too.
If you're capped at 4Mbps at your cable modem and your local segment can handle many times that amount of traffic, then the odds of your connection jacking everyone else up is minimal. It's kind of like thinking a 10mb connection could flood a switch that has a 10Gb backplane. Ain't gonna happen.
