I think you have a point there.  The reality is that we can get pretty fast
broadband at the moment, yet how many people have taken up the fastest
broadband possibly available to them?  Perhaps 1% of the market, at a guess.
Not to say improving broadband speeds is a bad idea - it's a nice
convenience / cool thing.  Compare that to getting broadband instead of
dialup - it completely changes your "internet experience" (or something).
