'Better' can mean multiple things.
I'm pretty sure you'd agree that paying 1/3rd of what you pay now for the same bandwidth is 'better'.
Is there sufficient idle capacity to handle an nearly-overnight transition to whatever the load is now? I don't know, but suspect most ISPs are going to keep similar capacity buffers - nobody sells end consumers non-oversubscribed pipes.
