Who says that they can't handle it? What could be the scenarios that are causing problems? Most customers will be doing nothing different to what they were doing before the speed increases and by that I don't mean trying to max out their connection 24/7. If you have a faster connection and want to download say a 10Mb file you will only be in a position to cause problems for half the time. I know that you could get a file of that size with a dialup speed but you would then be using bandwidth for a very much longer period of time with more chance of contention coming into affect. Faster speeds only reduce your capabilities to below what they were before their introduction if some users try to max them out for extensive periods of time.
