very likely already in a world where bandwidth is not an issue

Lol, not even close. Data demands for an individual increases by 50% a year, and total Internet transit doubles about every 18-24 months.

Current peak usage exceeds 80% on any given day. If upgrades stopped, you'd know it relatively quickly (in weeks/months). Within 3-6 months it would be unusable.

meaningless numbers without sources

The base infrastructure has barely changed. What do you think they do to "meet data demands?"

It's funny, you post uninformed and baseless conjecture, and I post verifiable facts.

Who are the dumbshits voating you up and me down?

Transit providers are constantly adding links. ISPs are constantly adding links to transit providers. Sorry, but you simply don't know what you're talking about.
