> Doubling broadband speeds every 2-3 years?

Doubling the infrastructure required to deliver customer bandwidth demands -- not speeds. For example 2 years ago maybe the average customer had utilization between 8-11PM of 4Mbit/sec. Today it's maybe 8Mbit/sec. That requires your ISP to deliver 2x as much bandwidth during those hours regardless if the speed package has changed or not.
