Because there are many households that don't just have one nerd sat downloading the whole internet because he/she can. Throw an XBOX360 into a standard setting of a couple of desktops and a laptop downloading and 100Mb would be useful without anything illegal being downloaded.
Higher speeds raise the bar for those on lower speeds too as inevitably the benefits are passed down with improved(hopefully) infrastructure and pricing, it wasn't too long ago I was paying for the same for 3Meg as I'm now paying for 20meg.

Enjoy your 2meg and a 2gig cap then LOL.
