I remember a time where I kept that DSL link saturated, because there was enough bandwidth to download anything I wanted, but it might take twelve hours. With fiber, I can download just about anything in seconds, and as a result I don't download anything until I actually need it. Over-abundance has the upside that there is no need to over-consume, as there is in the case of a generous but still limited resource. Of course, on the other hand, over-abundance easily leads to excessive waste, which is where metering plays a role. Even for a very cheap resource.
