Well, not problematic from the perspective of the FCC.  However, it does
reduce the service you're currently receiving to a level below that to
which you've become accustom,  and for the same price.  While I'm sure
their TOS/contract has a provision in there somewhere to the tune of "we
can change things without any notice, and with no recourse" it's not a
good PR move.
