I won't be using faster internet speeds. At least I won't until I'm assured data caps are a thing of the past.
I "self-throttle" data speeds by opting for for the lowest tolerable internet service to keep me under my cap.
F@#$ing Comcast.

ISPs have been (similar to yourself) using the limited access speeds to self-throttle the data usage of customers to limit their aggregated backhaul costs.
If I pay higher monthly connection costs for high speed access (the monthly service charge) and pay to actually use the service at the intended speed (additional fees generated by a data cap), I am being double billed for service.
Data caps in conjunction with a higher costs for high speed access are a predatory business model.
