It's the cost of bandwith to the home, not the core bandwidth across the global internet that is the problem, faster connections to the home mean more UBRs and more UBRs means more cost.
Faster connections do not pay an equivilant more for their speed due to competition. Look at the math (Jerrek RIP)
1x 1.5Mb makes £38 a months, the equivilant b/w could go to 5 300k ers at £17.99 a month a total of £90.

How much will you pay for 3Mb £50? So this is now the equivilant of 10 300k ers or 179.90 in revenue, make the mix more skewed to 750kers thats 4 of them at £25 a months or £100 vs £50.

Go to 5Mb at how much £80? Compare to 3 1.5Mb and 2 300k still vs £150.
