This is silly...
Bandwidth consist of two things
1) Latency
2) Throughput
One without the other is slightly useless.
If your latency is low and your throughput is high then it will make no different for viewing a website since multiple connections and downloads occur between your browsers and your webserver.
We need a balance between the two. There are lots of potential with high bandwidth such as remote backups, video streaming etc...
There is no such thing as to much bandwidth, the problem is that latency doesn't allow bandwidth to show its true colors when small data transmissions occur such as sending receiving email or surfing the web.
