AT&T has plenty of headroom to increase Internet connection speeds well above their current 10/1.5 top offering, without resorting to pair bonding.

First, many users synch with the VRAD well above the current allowed rate of 25 Mb/sec. For example I synch at 45 Mb/sec. AT&T could easily sell new higher speeds to those users.
And so do the folks on fiber, but according to AT&T, until they can get higher speeds to EVERYONE, they won't because they want to keep the user experience "consistent."

So, it really boils down to what percentage of people can get higher speeds without pair bonding?
Aw c'mon. That "consistent user experience" crap is just their PR spin on the truth, which is that they choose not to offer a higher speed tier for business reasons. If they decided to go to a higher speed tier that you had to qualify for, or that you had to trade off against VoIP or TV, they would. And they'd have some other PR spin to explain how it is really good for you that they did that.
