You think people wont buy because a website is slow??? Out of everything here that is the dumbest thing ever. People look for a product at a good price and care zilch about website speed outside of computer obsessed reddit kids.
You pull up in your car in front of two hardware stores. It's a bright, sunny day, with relatively low humidity.
On your left is the local "mom and pop" store. You decide to support the local business, and start walking in the direction of the store. As you get closer to the entrance, however, you discover a line of people waiting outside the store. The store owners only allow a certain amount of people to be present in the store at a given time, hence the line.
As you stand in the queue, you look across the block at the national chain hardware store and notice no line - people are walking in and out as they please. You know for a fact that the national chain charges 50 cents more for the product you're looking for, but the line you're in hasn't moved for almost 10 minutes, and you could have been in and out and on your way if you had gone into the chain store.
What do you honestly think most people would decide to do in this situation - continue to wait in line, or leave the line and get what they need at the store without the line?

How many "mom and pop" stores do huge amounts of online business?

If they have large amounts of online traffic then it would be prudent to allow higher amounts of bandwith.
