What you have to remember is that most broadband customers are not interested in the speed of their connection or the usage policy applied to it. They only want to switch on their computer and have it do want they want it to. Over 95% of broadband customers will carry on just as they do at present and will only start to look at faster speeds and higher usage tiers when some mainstream application demands more than they get at the moment. Full screen HD streaming video being a prime example. All ISP's are looking at the needs of the 95% of the market and not at the high end very heavy users who think every BB user should be like themselves.
