In such a case the obvious answer is they can mange just fine with 768Mbps/256kbps service which means they won't be paying the same price. You don't buy a Ferrari to drive 55 nor do they need 7Mbps/768kbps to manage email and browse the web. If they do need faster speed it is because of the ad-dump as well as script-pollution forced on people by commercial websites these days not because of users. I am willing to bet a significant portion of system bandwidth is totally wasted on pages downloading 5MB+ pages full of ads and script to track user actions. Same goes for people who do not understand how to format photos to upload on the web. FYI, setting the image to 1 DPI (yes ONE DPI) is enough and will show just fine but you will significantly decrease the file size. The image scales w/o needing a high DPI. The only reason a higher DPI is needed would be for proofing on a high end system or for printing.
