kudos:1 | Let's face it though. Unless the server you're connecting to has the bandwidth to connect you at 20 meg, what's the point?
Sure, Fios is capable of so much more, but that's the beauty of FTTH. It offers the bandwidth for future, unanticipated needs. Even when you saturate the strand with today's laser technology, you can conduct future upgrades by changing the lasers on either end and using the same fiber cable.

Look at how expensive hosting and server costs were years ago. In due time, servers will be upgraded to handle the speed as it becomes more affordable.

To connect to multiple servers, if need be, without effecting perceived speed or latency. In other words, I could be screaming things down, from multiple sources, at 15mbps and still be able to play some Xbox live while I wait..  |

Not for P2P. Having insane upload capacity helps download faster on BT. I'm stuck with 512Kbps upload here in SBC-land. I have Grande Com because of my apartment's contract. My BT ratios would be much higher if I had a decent upload like FiOS. Maybe even run my own gameserver from home! |
