I can't make any informed comment on whether or not larger than 400Mbps pipes are economically possible across the network - I suspect not as it's obvious that the low capacity local pipes are what cause issues when high speed connections get used in anything but short bursts so if it was possible without splashing the cash (or in VMs case extending the already astronomical overdraft) it would have been done.
I can comment on ...

I can quite easily fully utilise my connection while doing either of those things. I'd also suggest that those taking the higher speed connections are far more likely to be doing so than 10Mbps customers whose connections quite possibly do consume nothing while they take a leak etc.
