What makes you think they can ? You would have exactly the same problem if you were on ADSL with the "standard" 50:1 contention ratio - if someone started downloading 300GB a month then it would affect the other 49 - if a few started it then the rest would be in trouble. That is the whole problem of a contended system - you share the bandwidth, if one or two start hogging it then the rest suffer.
