What about ISPs and bandwidth on consumer-grade broadband connections? There is not a chance in hell that broadband could be offered at anywhere near current price points if packet traffic couldn't be oversubscribed thousands of percent. For the most part, this doesn't cause ISPs any problems - even what looks like a relatively continuous and intensive bit stream to the user is actually heavily interleaved with other packets when it comes to total bandwidth pushed out of the back of the aggregation wagon.
