Re: Already Yes, because offering 1 Gbps business connections to a scattered few locations at a very high price point totally makes all of this ok. |

| its available to ANYONE within their coverage area. Call up TWC Business Class and tell them you want it. The fact is the service has already been available, and people like you refuse to pay for what they want. And that's the problem. If you paid for the services instead of asking for a social handout- we'd all be in a better place but nope. Social programs like free Internet built on tax dollars is better than education and a police department that can function or how about a new 2mill fire truck to protect your home if your neighbors caught fire. |

But because they offer expensive 1 Gbps business lines that's all ok. And PS, anyone who wants to improve things is just looking for handouts. Have I followed you're ridiculous logic adequately?

Houston, TX | It doesnt matter...!! It doesnt matter, they can offer 10Gbps tomorrow, but then they'll cap you at 200-300GB per month... Might as well have a freaking 1.5Mbps connection... |

| Offer Yes, but realistically No. Companies like Sonic, Google, GWI offer Gigabit connections at REASONABLE prices that consumers can afford.
Gigabit Pricing
Sonic - $70
Google - $70
GWI - $140
Time Warner - $??? - I messaged my local office no response yet.
But I did checkout pricing for Business Class
15x2 Megabits - $199.99 |

| 1 Gbps is overkill 1 Gbps is overkill for residential use. Most residences can function with a 50/10 connection.
The only time you would need 1 Gbps and above is for a data center or a server (which is prohibited in residential TOS).
My computers function fine on the Blast 50/10 and I have at least 5 devices connected to the Internet at any given time (DirecTV Cinema Connectiom Kit, Wii U, iPad/iPad mini, iPhone, Mac Mini, 2 MacBook Pros) although not all devices are online all at once.
The burglar alarm just uses a plain old Verizon landline. Some burglar alarms connect via Broadband. I think for an alarm system, a landline is more reliable as it does not rely on premises power.

I've experienced ImOn (when they were McLeod USA), Mediacom, Comcast, and Time Warner and I currently have DirecTV. They are much better than broadcast TV.
I have not and will not cut the cord. |

My horse works just fine for getting me place to place...what do I need that new fangled auty-mobile for? Way overkill....
My icebox that the iceman comes by every other day to fill with ice works just fine keeping my food cold. Don't need that new-fangled electricity to run stuff...way overkill....
Wonder how many people have said stuff like that in the past when new technology came out to make our lives easier?

Re: 1 Gbps is overkill Why is this still a talking point. First off, you cant determine what someone else NEEDS. Secondly, who's to determine what you can and cannot have within your home. I wouldn't call my home setup a data center but is certainly NOT just a server.
Some of us absolutely need and will take full advantage of a REASONABLY priced 1Gbs connection. I currently have 8 VM's folding, the larger the pipe the more VM's I'd spin up. This is just one of the MANY ways I'd take advantage of fiber access.
I live in the 4th largest city of the USA (downtown might I add) and I can't get anything other than Comcast or U-Verse. No fiber...anywhere..in the entire footprint of the 4TH LARGEST CITY IN THE UNITED STATES...its retarded. |

| What you are using is not the typical residential use of an Internet connection. And like I said yesterday about the grandma getting kicked off Comcast for too many calls, is not typical of residential use.
If someone needs a heavy dury connection for servers and data centers, then they should purchase a business grade connection.
As for faster speeds, DOCSIS 3.1 looks to be promising.
The days of companies and power users paying more for telecommunications is nothing new. Call centers have to pay the phone company more than a residential user and its been this way since the phone was invented.
I use about 30 to 50 GB per month.
To sum it up, it boils down to the contract that the user has with their ISP, if it says normal residential use then you can't use it for a data center or server although most (if not all ISPs) will gladly sell you a business grade connection with no caps and more open ports.

Even Google Fiber won't let you host servers unless it is for a game or something. If you can't host servers, I really don't see how anyone could even come close to using Gigabit pipes. They don't want you to actually use the pipes they are providing, because providing gigabit pipes for $70 per month and allowing them to use it isn't economical. |

Re: 1 Gbps is overkill Downloading movies at 1Gbps would be soooo nice... all the computers in my home have gigabit ethernet ports, my router does, my switches do, and even my Docsis3 Modem has a gigabit ethernet port. Why should my Internet connection be the bottleneck? Because they don't offer it? Waiting for a file transfer should be a thing of the past. |
