Most BB users will only be doing one thing at a time with their connection so will never use anything like the 10 Mbps. Even if they connect to a server which can give them the full 10 Mbps they will probably get whatever it is that they are downloading in just a few seconds so won't put undue pressure on the network. Even if their connection slowed down quite a lot they would probably never realise that it had. It's the experienced heavy downloaders that will put pressure on the system who may move on to pastures new if they find themselves restricted or may find that their upload restricts them.
