I think you guys have it all wrong, none of you are saying how often you need it.

But buying a package just incase you might need the speed doesn't justify the extra money, quite simply put extra speed normally means extra bandwidth usage, I know its not always the case but most of the time it is.

I download a fair few iso's every month so hence I need a high speed tier, if I know I wont be downloading any iso's during the month or anything a similiar size I will downgrade my connection there is no doubt about it.

I will say it again, burst speeds cost the isp nothing and unless you get something else extra then you shouldn't be paying extra money for it, thats why the traffic quote for each tier should be higher.
