Re: wow
Are you people from the Barack Obama School of Technology? If we hope long enough, increased bandwidth will just appear? The money they make is what will enable them to make the investments needed to offer the faster speeds....
The level of intellectual disconnect displayed by forum posters is stunning...

I do..... And so does any other web 2.0 developer.
We are tried of having to compress and lower the quality of our stuff so people with slow connections don't have to wait 10 minutes for the web app to load.
Once this, or even 10mbps starts to become the norm, you are going too see a exposition in the quality of the way websites look. |

| Agreed.. here's the 'issue'
A) DSL = lower bit rate, but typically you will hit your max w/o issue (eg. ADSL 6-7Mbps, VDSL at 10Mbps). Typically a better QoS on DSL, IMO.
B) Cable 6-25Mbps, slow downs during peak usage, but for bursty transmissions, and less distance limitations, Cable works well.
Think of DSL as token ring, and Cable as ethernet with a hub (not switch).
Unless I'm mistaken HD uncompressed is 19.2Mbps, and unless there's a queuing mechanism, I don't think you'll be having decently streamed HD over the internet for a while w/o buffering

Who installed the switches and maintaines them for DSL Extreme? And where are they located? 
Who's network does it go through?
Im kind of in the same situation, my packets go through ATT network and they could look if they wanted. I have no doubt about that.
