There is no way wanging everyone up to 50mbit+ isn't going to result in increased usage, otherwise we would all be quite happy back on 1mbit. If you gave me a new Audi I would make a point of going out more and driving it everywhere I can just because it is something new which I want to use.

excellent post.
I fully agree, its 99% certian usage will increase, the only question is by how much.
Also it will increase burst time demand which basically means even if someone is only download the same amount it will add more demand to the network as it will burst to higher speed.
