Social media is not a big driver of symmetrical traffic here in the US or internationally. Broadband suffers here for a number of reasons, mainly topological and population density, in comparison to places like Japan, parts (but certainly not all) of Europe, and South Korea.
It might not be (now), but if symmetrical bandwidth will go in on the back of teenagers wanting to upload videos about their lives, the meer fact that the bandwidth is there means someone will find bigger and better use for it, than social media. We saw this when we deployed FTTH in Malaysia, back in '09. Mark.
