Not hard at all, if you just said that then no one would be disagreeing with you.
But you wanting more data instead of faster data is a different thing than saying you use more data because of faster data.
Why would more speed encourage you to use more services, when existing services use only a small fraction of the speed available to you anyway? Netflix,Hulu,etc don't come close to using 15Mbps.
You are right that data consumption will rise, but you haven't made the case that it will rise because of higher speeds. It will rise simply because there are far more services available to people that use Internet data. None of those services though benefit from going from 15 to 25Mbps, you can't watch a Netflix movie faster.
