| Re: Possible in a year or 2; not likely until 10 yrs from now said by TKJunkMail  :Those kinds of speeds(100 mbps and up) to customers will be technically feasible in a year or two from US cable companies. But to make them widely available, infrastructure would have to be vastly updated, with numerous node splits in every neighborhood across the companies footprint. And that involves spending a great deal of money. Don't expect these speeds in most areas for up to 10yrs away. Who knows maybe in 10 years people will need 100 Mbps. To be honest( and I'm a more speed the better guy ) who really needs 100 Mbps? Unless you're trying to download a bunch of blu-ray dvds. To stream something in 1080p would only take 16-20 Mbps. How many sites are going to do that? | |

| Re: Possible in a year or 2; not likely until 10 yrs from now 100mbps widely dispersed to the population would allow you to do all the things on the internet that you just can't do now. Multiple HD streams to multiple PC's in single households, Centralized data storage, and application loading, truly integrated communications networks so you can answer your cell phone on your TV, and unlock your front door from your car. Single points of contact, so if you want to call someone the network finds them and routes the call correctly. Appliances that can reorder supplies, or update your grocery lists while your shopping as your kids eat your food. Wouldn't it be great if everytime someone rang your doorbell or opened your door you could have a live feed sent to your TV or cell phone to see who is entering or exiting your house? Utility control so thermostats automatically adjust based on your location, and lights turn on and off when needed. How much closer towards energy independence could we be if the majority of people didn't have their furnace's/ACs blasting away when they're at work, or out to eat, or out at all?
"Who needs 100mbps" is frankly an ignorant question. | |
