List these many reasons.
Time for one thing is very precious to many people. I am on the lowest tier because that is sufficient for my normal needs. I have switched to the highest on a couple of occasions, once to quickly upload something where time was of the essence. Some people like to download a big file fast and then get on with the thing they needed that file for. If you want to download something that takes an hour on a 1Mb connection and you only have half an hour to do it in then the only option is to get a faster connection.

I don't subscribe to the idea that you need only have a connection that is just fast enough to download your daily needs in 24 hours. neither do I subscribe to the idea that you have to max out your connection all of the time and certainly not 24/7.

I could give you many reasons but why should I? It doesn't take much imagination to think of reasons for having a fast connection and not using it at the max 24/7.

Read through this thread again and you will probably find the answer.
