Re: ???

Many people in this country can not get 10Mbps, so why would content providers (or websites) pay to support the few end users who can?
Because they have to operate on the assumption that more than one person at a time will be using their website / content perhaps. A content provider on a 10Mbps port serving 5 customers concurrently wouldn't really be providing at much pace.

While that is true to some extent, 10Mbps is still not the standard for many sites. Even those that do have higher bandwidth connections limit how much resources a given client can take up. They do this for the very reason you just mentioned; if a single user with a high capacity connection accesses the site they want to make sure others still can.
