But.... you still have a maximum cosumption rate that applies whether you are 1 user or 8 users.
I think the logic is that 8 people would use more than one over time. Yes no single user is using 100% of their bandwidth 100% of the time, but when you involve 8 devices now they are more likely to cap out that bandwidth over a longer period of time.
