well, as I understand it, all users will have the same download speed by 
decree

that means that YOUR download speed will be no faster than your Grandma in 
Wakita, OK, who uses her comp only on Saturday morning to e-mail Aunt Helen 
in Beulah, ND

never mind that she never uses the bandwidth, she MUST have it sitting there

so either:

1) providers have to MASSIVELY over-build to provide heavy users with 
sufficient BW, for which you will pay

or

2) you must make do with sucky service

the proper position, in my opinion, is not just 'no', but 'H*LL NO!!!'

just my $ 0.02, YMMV
