In many cases, yes. I know of a certain network that ran with 30% loss for a matter of years because the option didn't exist to increase the bandwidth. When it became reality, guess what they did.
How many people have noticed that when you replace a circuit with a higher capacity one, the traffic on the new circuit is suddenly greater than 100% of the old one. Obviously this doesn't happen all the time, such as when you have a 40% threshold for initiating a circuit upgrade, but if you do your upgrades when they are 80% or 90% full, this does happen. --Michael Dillon
