>Indeed. And much like high-speed highway driving, if my iphone 4s were to use its full internet bandwidth, i would be a mortal danger to my fellow man. Oh wait.
It would be a total annoyance of your fellow subscribers to the same network. Maybe not a car accident, but a lot like traffic congestion.
I mean, since capacity does not grow on trees, and it is not that easy or cheap to expand it.
You are not going to be using the peak capacity constantly.
If you are listening to music / watching videos, then the rate at which you are downloading is limited to the quality of those streams which is often not close to the peak.
If you are downloading an app, it can use peak bandwidth, but you are done in seconds.
If you are browsing the internet, you are not bothering anyone at all.
The only issue I see is if you are torrenting from your phone. How many people would you see doing that ?
