This brings up an interesting note on ISPs. Why do broadband companies cap bandwidth at all? Why not just divide up the available bandwidth evenly among all the requesting users.

I'm not an expert on these matters, but I imagine this would dramatically increase the bandwidth that the ISP as a whole uses and purchases from a carrier, and, since they probably pay for how much bandwidth they use, I'd expect it to create a similarly dramatic increase in their monthly bandwidth costs. Doubt it'd ever happen.
