Giving people more bandwidth is no problem if they continue to do what they did before they got it. Just the same as if I swap my car for one with an higher top speed doesn't mean I will drive faster or travel further.

In a way giving customers twice the speed could mean that they are only on line with the possibility of affecting others use for half the time if all they are doing is downloading a large file.

The big question is will users alter their usage pattern when they get this extra speed or not. If having twice the speed that you now have means you will download significantly more, what is this extra download?
