Throughhput drives demand. Customers aren't doing stuff that needs 10Gb/s because they don't even have 1Gb/s, not because they wouldn't if they did. Personally

Personally, 802.11n and whatever crappy DSL link speed I get is good enough for me, but I don't do video, social media, or online gaming. I can rent access to machines much better positioned to take advantage of greater bandwidth if I ever need them.

I think that effect diminishes as speed goes up. Network speed is just one constraint that might limit me from doing things I want to do. Others are time and money. I think we are approaching the point where network speed will be sufficient for most people that it is no longer a constraint. At that point faster networks won't really matter to most people.
