Actually your wrong with the Edit.
Its upto the ISP as its their service and their line they are leasing to you, you dont own the line remember, and if they choose to ban you for say browsing and downloading from a well known warez source they can.
But yes you are free to browse when and where you want to, but if its questionable they will come down heavy.
And most ISP's TOS is so full of holes it protects them from changes made, basically the biggest hole they have that you agree to (which 99% of people dont really read) is they say they will give you speeds UPTO the amount your leasing, i.e. they are not guarenteeing top speed and also gives them a leeway to throttle you whenever they see fit.
Look at Virginmedia in the UK the biggest loophole users ever.
