I disagree there. Statistical contention again, here thinking of the user's own connection. A single person is unlikely to use 200mb on their own for any significant length of time - the oft-quoted most webservers only have 100mb for example. Usage goes up but nowhere near linearly - something like 20% higher usage when speed gets doubled in the last study I saw.

So a 200mbit user downloading the same as a 100mbit user will still double the load on the port whilst downloading.

Assuming all the conditions are favourable, yes, but they would only do so for half the amount of time. Again, reducing statistical contention.

I believe upgrading from 750 to 1Ghz was part of the 100mb rollout upgrades.
