people wont leave on masse, the scary thing is the bulk of customers just wont notice and care about these problems, my sister for example made a comment to me that the internet feels slow but its not a big issue for her as she doesnt use it much and she just shrugs it of. The problems some people are seeing if they got pregressively worse their is the danger that things get bad enough in that websites hit dialup speed, streams skip all the time etc. and then people will notice. But I think the crunch point for that would be around 30kB (256kbit), most streams run around that level and audio streams at half that, browsing at speeds below that get noticed.
