People love high numbers. They don't want to hear that they buy cable but their packets get the same priority as anyone else. They will sue saying "You promised me 1mbps I can't reach that".
Remember how time warner doubled or more their up/down speeds, but put major caps in place making users cap out their monthly quota in a matter of hours if downloading at the given rates?
Prioritize by pay. If I pay more, my packets are of higher priority than someone else's but as long as noone starves the internet will be fine. If the server is 50% free, and I have enough bandwidth to use the other 50%, why not? HOWEVER if someone needs it, they will bump down my usage.
What I never understood is why people like computers to be IDLE? We have a server that runs at 50% capacity, we want 50% capacity free just in case... No, we want a system where every bit of capacity is used, just tasks that are low priority get bumped down when resources are needed. It makes no sense, we are not dealing with water buckets where filling it prevents more water from going in. HOWEVER upper management likes to see the fact that they are always "safe" even if safe is stupid, expensive, pointless, and not safe.
