And what about if the customer signed up to a 12 months contract?

It is really hard to ignore the lack of proper competition. In the ideal
world there would be a perfect market, a large selection of providers, no
artificial barriers to changing provider and all users would behave in a
perfect rational economic manner. Then price would be driven down towards
cost and providers would have to invest in upgrade capacity.

But let's also not forget that TCP is designed to fill available BW, and
versions such as CUBIC are getting pretty good at that. Given the rapid
increase in access speed, the required level of over-provisioning in the
core is going to become ridiculous.
