Why should it cost more to connect at 100MB/sec vs. 56KB/sec? If the same amount of packets are transfered? Why should I pay more beyond the one-time cost of buying interface electronics?
Because what costs money is engineering for peak usage. If you can send traffic at 100MB/sec instead of 56KB/sec your peak usage can (and likely will) be much higher.
