The belief of impending doom (artifical or not) motivates us all (since we respond to it so well) into action, the scenario is typical in all industries, false information works! QWest and all the others are trying to do more of what they always have in big business, insurance is the worst of all of them, Oil producers tie there pricing with the futures market in order achieve an inflated cost, not the production of fuels. Business news stories are only produced for shock values by them always and usually create hysteria and mild forms of panic or they cover up (tone down) the reality (Global Warming). I am venting in general, although agree with you on pipe providers doping you into believing more $$=more speed, the speed is there they throttle it down like a dam and trickle it as needed. But in all you seldom get what you pay for unless you educate youself and are willing to fight.
