I'd say there's room for both arguments. When i went from 10meg to 50 i downloaded more purely because i could. On 10meg i'd have to choose between either gaming or downloading, and i'd either spread it out or wait for off peak, now i can get the downloading done in a fraction of the time, and download more and then use the connection for something else, where as before i was either throttled or doing one or the other, or queuing files.

The lesser the bandwidth i'd argue that people would download more, but if you're going from 30 to 60, 50 to 100 id argue in the case that nothing much would change
