"From early 2015 to early 2016 there was a 56% increase in data usage according to Cisco."

And there you see the problem with data caps (common among mobile carriers but swiftly coming to cable). We have plenty of bandwidth today and are squeezed for more money in a few years.

We don't have plenty of mobile bandwidth though. 56% increase resulted in 50% degradation of speed. What happens next year to speeds with continued growth in usage?

Good point that we need to think about. I'm more worried about caps in landlines. A similar problem exists there, however. Here's a good article on it.
