Re: Can't support, But will sell it, Advertise it as 100mbps
said by P Ness  :just like their "unlimited" features...which are really not unlimited at all they will sell the 100 and if you even get it once they will call it correct so?
At this point, not very many people would actually use it. Having faster downloads (thus speeding up transfers) would also mean that when people actually use those pipes (and on the exceedingly rare occasion that the SERVER can actually send at 100mbps), users will finish their files quickly and be done with their downloading, freeing up bandwidth quicker.

I seriously would like to do this as a real world test.
Would network traffic go down if people got their files faster? |

That's like asking whether getting a larger hard drive will reduce the amount of stored data, or asking whether getting more RAM will reduce the amount of memory being used. |

It's like if the streets were wider, could they handle more cars more efficiently than a narrower road. |

I can say from experience that when users are given more bandwidth, they use more bandwidth. I recently doubled the bandwidth for a 500 PC network in July. Since the users have realized that more bandwith is available at their disposal, average daily incoming traffic has already increased by 30%. No PCs have been added to the network during this time frame. I anticipate that within the next 24 months this network will require 100mbps WAN connectivity to deliver acceptable service to clients. |
