| This is overkill; server speeds aren't keeping up It is a nice marketing ploy, but largely irrelevant. Most server farms won't supply anywhere near those speeds to individual users. Most server farms cap speeds to users in order to handle thousands of users.

Wrong, data centers can supply a full duplex 100 Mbps connection for $10-15 more per month, or a full duplex 1000 Mbps connection for $50-60 more.

Assuming your server farm can actually saturate a 1000mbit line, that is only 1mbit per connection for a thousand connections. |

Why doesn't anyone say this when we're talking about 1Gbps internet access in Korea? |

I pay on the 95 % no limits on transfers, on many of the servers I watch and those 10 mbit pipes are almost 1K a month at the 95 % usage rate. 100 mbit is nearly 5 K , gig is 45 K You think that is a mere jump ? data on a good data center ring is not cheap. Either way its safe to say i ain't moving to that 100 mbit link for some time to come.
