Like with anything in life, you should be given a choice.
You are being given the opportunity of having a faster connection so what is the problem. You have no need to take advantage of the faster speeds if you don't want to.

This has to be looked at from a marketing viewpoint. If the lower tiers were increased in price it would probably lead to much higher churn rates and fewer new customers, particularly if there was no increase in speed.

How do you work out that 1Mb users are subsidising the lower speeds?
