This demonstrates the difference between aggregate bandwidth and single point bandwidth. In a non-dedicated distribution system as is the nature of a cellular network, any point can overload. Aggregate bandwidth is the bandwidth available across the entire network and on the larger networks I am sure there is more than enough 4G bandwidth to meet current needs. And one of the ways you make sure it stays that way is with bandwidth consumption limits. It's all about math. You're comparing apples and oranges when you compare aggregate bandwidth to single point bandwidth. They're both fruit but that's about it...
