Each UBR card has a finite bandwidth available to share between the customers using it. A UBR card can only accomodate half as many customers using their 2Mb connection to the full as it can accomodate 1Mb customers without undue adverse affects on their connections. Therefore as speeds increase more UBR's have to be installed to prevent a deterioration in customers experiences.
