If all customers were paying the distillery a monthly fee for x amount of booze, that would be an accurate analogy.
It's the whole bait and switch part of this that really irks me. Bell never told any of their customers they would be throttled if they used bit torrent, they just implemented in secret and never admitted to it until they were exposed.
I'd use the analogy that its like paying for an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet and then after giving your money over, you're told you can have all the canned tuna you like, but only tiger prawn per person because those are too expensive and the restaurant would go out of business if everyone ate them.
