Cablevision will never be able to release that kind of speed at a good price and stay consistent. Capping and throttling all around and the price will be through the roof! Guaranteed! -- Cruising with Verizon DSL 2793/714 & Opera 8.01 »verizon.net »opera.com

Price for speed is entirely relative. If the telco's want a network that provides all that bandwidth they will re-allocate pricing on the call center and other intercarrier connections so facilitate the increased expectation of bandwidth usage.
Several colo's I know of are now expanding to multigigabit trunking inside the datacenter in anticipation of interafcing with higher capacity telco circuits.
You also have to remember a web page request from start to finish is about a megabyte on a media rich page. And lately we've seen with higher speed connections your limit is the ability of your PC to process the html, images, javascript, macromedia flash and shockwave files and other things and display them on the page. Some tests have shown the data transfer halting nearly 2 seconds before the page is actually displayed.
It will all work out. Bandwidth is the ultimate economy of size.
