What changes could come from changing my plumbing pipes?

My water supply comes in through a 3/4" pipe and then shrinks to a 3/8" pipe that supplies water to my faucets, tub, washer, etc. If I change the pipes to be consistently 3/4" will I be able to have: Better water pressure? Better water distribution (to avoid lack of pressure when showering and having the washer running simultaneously)? Also, if pressure is increased, provided all other fixtures remain the same (and that the time spent using water [i.e. a 10 minute shower] does not change), will my water consumption increase and cause my water bill to potentially increase?
