According to some, "the internet is a series of tubes."

So you know the increased bandwidth will definitely help because "if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled. And if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material" ;)
