| what service requires this speed? can some one tell which provider other than google, potentially has a server with a 100 Mbps outbound connection to serve data? Can someone do the calculation on the speed difference between watching youtube video, loading CNN or checking email on a 100 mbps versus 10 mbps. I bet the difference is neglible.
i think these speed services will augment the usage for bittorrent traffic, but doesn't make a HUGE difference in day to day usage for a typical consumer. this may spur new high-bandwidth development but it'll take $$$ for the provider to develop and pay for that dedicated bandwidth from their carrier. | |

| Not enough Speed? Your all complaining about not being able to have a 100mb connection for 50$/month. Try living in Australia. You'll be lucky to get so called "Broadband". Our lack of "Population Density" really doesn't help at all.
On top of that we have pathetic traffic usage limitations. If you want a big download limit you generally get charged heavily for it. | |
