I have 3 now 6 will be nice, and if you look at the rest of todays news AT&T no Bandwidth restrictions. Who wins? Broadband wins everytime in that catagory.
Verison and Cable limit you! Good old AT&T don't and hopfully never will thats the differance. Right??? Yep!

For most users right now, 6Mbps is overkill for web browsing, gaming, etc... I am sorry but companies aren't out to please the minority. |

Re: Sounds good to me? 6mb
I've got 3 as well, and as soon as Homezone is available in my area, I'll upgrade to 6 to take advantage of the VOD and other services.

Re: 6Mbps is enough
6mbps for internet use is enough....I have the 6meg package and am thinking about downgrading to 3 megs..I dont use more then 3 really...Yea its nice to have to download a large file or something but I dont do that enough to justify. I would like a faster upload, say a 6meg down and 2 meg up...that would be sweet.... |

It's not about right now. Not only is not even available right now, but when you're upgrading your network, you should be at least a little bit future sighted. Right now 6mbps is definitely plenty. In 5 years 6mbps will be the new 64k of RAM.
Hey, maybe the entire rest of the industry is wrong and AT&T is right.. that's how it's happened in the past right? ... oh .. hrmm. |

Re: How about 1 mb up FIRST!
I love the BS 6M I get now... I have 3 people in the house using computers on the web at the same time as well as my VOIP line in use -- no slowdown, no breakups on the line... Constant speed.
Less than 6M -- no way... More would be nice to keep up with the other companies and as people add more wireless items to the house and VOIP lines...
But...for now... 6 is nice...  |

| 6Mbps
Yeah, 6Mbps is more than enough for "average" users. For those that just check their email, and visit a few websites, 6Mbps is overkill.
However, it's not enough for some of us users (including myself). Hopefully, this 6Mbps will just be in the beginning, with speed upgrades later. |
