| 50th in the world, here we come I wonder if the U.S. will ever get to 100Mbps. Typically, if the bandwidth is provided, people and companies will figure out new ways to use it. Japan and S.Korea don't seem to have any trouble finding applications that use 100Mbps.
If the telcos don't want to provide it, they won't. And there is nothing that can be done about it with the current state of the industry.
so, the U.S. will continue to fall behind the broadband leaders in the world, with all that implies from a technological and financial standpoint.
If fast, inexpensive, ubiquitous broadband had been pursued as diligently as the Iraq war by this administration, we would probably already be at 1Gbps broadband. Instead, all we got was this lousy war. | |

kudos:1 | Re: 50th in the world, here we come You dont need applications, applications will come. All consumer ISPs do contention, and 99% of PCs CAN NOT saturate a 100mbs line, you need RAID to saturate it. 100mbs will provide growth for 5-10 years, and telcos dont need to upgrade for a long time. | |

Galt, CA | Re: 50th in the world, here we come pfft.. forget about just thinking computers folks..
how many IP devices do you have?
i have 4 voip phones, 2 xboxes, a wii, 5 computers (desktop & laptops combined) and 2 servers (no, real servers... not computers that i just call servers).
im currently running this over a 3.0/768 because thats the best I can get at the moment without having to spend the money on a T1.
If you add the bandwidth, trust me, ill find a way to use it with whatever new things I can connect via IP that will be coming up in the future. | |

kudos:1 | But if your on a 3000k/768k, and you can survive now, if your suddenly put on a 100m i don't think you will be sucking up 100m continuously. | |
