If the traffic approaches the size of the pipes, then some time, some packets will have to be tossed aside. With IP routing, those packets will just be retransmitted again (with a delay). This will cause lousy voice and video and will not reduce the average traffic (will actually increase the traffic). With ATM routing, connections with higher QoS can be differentiated and priced higher, and those packets will not be tossed aside. I'm pretty sure that IPv6 (the new version of the Internet Protocol (IP)) deals with packet priorities, so ATM won't have as much of an advantage for supporting and charging for different level of service.
