Yes, but are they going to want to download a new one of those things (a web browser) which they use for downloading other things? Is the web browser such a basic part of the whole downloading experience that they don't quite get the idea of "replacing" it?

Also, do people use those broadband connections to download data ("content" such as images, sounds, etc.) or programs?

I get the feeling that people mostly want to download content, and are happy with a few default content viewers unless they're told otherwise (e.g. "You need the ___ plugin to view this. Would you like to download it now?") This includes web browsers. That's my take on it anyway.
