How is someone going to use 50 Mbps of bandwidth.
I use it at work every day....well, okay it's only 45Mbit.

Seriously though, I rarely am able to actually use 45mbits of bandwidth. Occasionally I do when downloading the latest FreeBSD ISOs, or a patch from Microsoft. Being able to grab a 700MB file in 3 minutes sure is nice, but it's not a necessity. My "measly" little 3mbit connection at home is plenty for me right now.

Simple... They won't. Cablevision isn't offering 50mbit service for atleast 5-10 years.

Where's my 16/1 speed, Comcast?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14724291 Thu, 03 Nov 2005 14:49:36 EDT Re: That a lot of bandwidth http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14724198 djrobx : Plasmas are flying off the shelves, similar to how LCD monitors have replaced CRTs on PCs over the last few years.

People may not necessarily upgrade for HDTV (a cable or satellite set top box will still work with older TVs), but decent sized LCD TVs will probably be pretty cheap soon, and everyone will want them. Especially for the smaller rooms, because that's where space is at a premium. Since the TVs will do HD it'll be somewhat of a no-brainer to want to put an HD signal there. Eventually it'll be easy with cable and CableCard.

All that said, "convergence" PCs like Windows Media Center are gaining momentum too. If backbone banwidth can become inexpensive enough, an internet based on-demand movie rental service could become popular if they can get enough bandwidth going to do HD.

Japan's had these 50+mbps connections for a long time now, what do they do with them?

Not to mention its not illegal to download unlicensed anime. Infact the fansub groups have long had a relationship with the anime studios to stop subbing anime that has been licensed. Its only illegal when you download anime licensed in your own country. So please dont start lumping anime ( yes im a huge fan)with illegal content from the RIAA and MPAA.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14724119 Thu, 03 Nov 2005 14:21:22 EDT Re: That a lot of bandwidth http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14724117 dadkins : What is all the crying about bandwidth then?

Last time I checked that stuff you still have to buy.

Sharing Anime you bought = illegal.

In the future please be more responsible in saying what you're going to use your fast connection for. It's people like you that the MPAA and RIAA are pointing at when they ask for these new restricted laws and pushing this DRM at us.

My Comcast connection is not affected by the TV service(or my Digital Phone). ;)
I lean towards that CV is the same way... TV is separate from internet. HDTV has nothing to do with what your computer gets, unless you have a HD tuner connected to it but it will still be separate.

Sure, I don't have 20-50mbps internet, but three HDTV feeds are completely doable.
There is a s#!+load of bandwidth already coming into my(our) houses over that little coax.

3 HD channels will consume a little more than that.
