Double would be a little too much... since not everybody really uses his full bandwidth, the impact on the backbone will probably be between below 30% of traffic increase. It always depends on your customer structure - if you have many Kazaa/eDonkey/etc. users, they'll use the full bandwidth all the time. If you have many business-customers, which only use mail and web, the bandwidth increase is not relevant...
But if your backbone is near the max (let's say, you have a 10 Mbps uplink to your upstream-provider and you already use 7 Mbps), then you'll have to think about an upgrade soon...
