ATHM does not have much content, so content providers are connected to ATHM ISP just as other ISPs are connected to those providers.

So, as ATHM relieves the bottlneck between user and the ISP (ATHM) through broadband, the congestion on the backbone may become the bottleneck. Also, the expectation for the "internet experience" will increase dramatically as users expect speeds approaching broadband all of time.

There will also become more demand for caching by content providers and ISPs, as one way to reduce contention by getting content closer to the end user.
