400Mbs, waaay past individual human info capacity
Excluding archiving / backups / library purposes, there ain't no human brain that can usefully handle 400 Mbps for very long.
Verizon should up their bitwise connect speed to 100 Mbps - max. out today's typical LAN data rate.
Users would get a burst of 100 Mbps, followed by a long pause, as the brain ponders the new input.
Wouldn't make a whole lot of difference in the *aggregate* bandwidth *per person* consumed, over time.
Leastwise not until we get to 3D holodecks.

They wouldn't if each was trying to stream multiple HD feeds. In fact if they each tried to stream 1 there would be a huge problem.
Each family member over the age of 10 should have a computer IMO. You're doing a dis-service to your childs future employability if they don't have regular access to a computer. I guess if YOU want to be computer illiterate and just have your child on your computer all the time, so be it.. |

This is why you may need atleast 200 MBPS:
5 HDTVs @ home, capable of recording 4 HD channels at the same time. Thats 20 HD channels peak load coming into the home. If you want good picture quality, each stream better be at 10 MPBS, MPEG4. Thats 200 MBPS gone right there for TV. |
