The basic problem is those six broadband providers want Level 3 to pay them to deliver traffic. Level 3 believes that's unreasonable. After all, the ISPs' own customers have already paid these ISPs to deliver the traffic to them. And the long-standing norm on the internet is that endpoint ISPs pay intermediaries, not the other way around. Level 3 notes that "in countries or markets where consumers have multiple broadband choices (like the UK) there are no congested peers." In short, broadband providers that face serious competition don't engage in this kind of brinksmanship.

Havent noticed any slow down yet. Though I never noticed when they increased the bandwidth either.
Sucks to not get what you pay for but if the prices fall with the bandwidth I'd be okay with that.
I think higher bandwidths have in a sense ruined the Internet. Not for media streaming but for web design and advertising. Pages are getting more gimmicky and more flashy and advertisements are all loud as hell video loops.
I miss the days of straight up text making up the bulk of a website. I miss the old mobile ATS for example. The new site is useless on my mobile. Stopping the loading of all the scripts and images doesnt help any. It still sucks.
Less is more. With the extra bandwidth everybody is treating the Internet like a McMansion racing to fill it up with all sorts of crap.

Yes, but it seems Google are coming down hard on website advertising flooding at the top...so they say. It doesn't stop them pissing about on Youtube though, with video covered in boxes that you need to click off to be able to see anything. They just don't get that nobody wants that crap.

How do you change the connection number? I hope you are not refering to dialup.
