However it makes no sense.
It makes perfect sense to people who know what they are talking about...

If i have a 10mb connection it does not mean that I have to max the whole thing out 24/7 just because I am paying X dollars for it.
No, it doesn't mean you HAVE to max it out... You don't have to do anything.

The difference between your Gym and amusement park analogy is that you have to be present to ride the rides or lift the weights.

Most of the Bandwidth hogs....are setting up huge queues of data that they never could in a 100 years utilize or watch and then leaving for work or going to bed.
1) you're making a huge assumption about the never using/watching; 2) you're splitting hairs on the "being present". But, whatever - clearly anyone that wants to use their connection for more than casual web surfing or email is going to be in the wrong in your eyes.
