Thumbs down No Speed

Currently living under a noise abate' SID that has an initial clearance limit of 3000', I am frustrated by controllers instructing pilots having acquired alt 3000' that there is no speed control.

1) Surely this could have been given prior to departure?

2) Alternatively by climbing the aircraft prior to issuing the no speed instruction.

Pilots are not free of blame, please do not accelerate in a level segment!!!

It completely negates the value of a noise abatement departure.
