Err, not quite:
"The average CVC capacity acquired per user has increased by almost 10
per cent during the quarter. This includes an average increase for
each broadband service from around one Mbps to 1.09 Mbps."

That is the amount of CVC bought by retail service providers to
service those customers. It isn't what they actually use and Paul was
actually talking about business customers not residential (for the
most part) consumers.

Very different things...
