Do you have reports that show this? I've read a recent isp report that show as people moved to gigabit fiber, their usage didn't go up as had been feared. The report showed that beyond a certain number, something like 100mb/s, usage no longer went up as bandwidth increased. Additionally, infrastructure costs went significantly down for the ISP showing that moving to fiber everywhere makes good financial sense for them.
This isn't surprising at all. We see this in computing as well. When designing clusters, other network specs such a latency and jitter become the bottleneck above certain speeds, depending on the application.
