00000 | What good is 200Mbps?
When the far end only gives you 10Mbps? I've got as much as 300Mbps in a remote datacenter and it's rare that I see more than 10Mbps on many sites. Yesterday I downloaded some stuff from Adobe and I could not get over 10Mbps from them. |

| As First-Mile performance increases that will become more common. If you have multiple sessions open to different servers you will still benefit.
Personally that is a problem I'd like to have - performance determined by remote server not my First-Mile connection.
It is nice to see Verizon being so aggressive with FIOS. Living in NH hopefully FairPoint will follow suit now that they have taken over.

I tend to agree... I've got access to OC-12 and soon GigE , however, many sites won't give me better than 10Mbps throughput on download (eg. »ftp://mirrors.kernel.org)

MORE THEN ONE CONNECTION AT THE SAME TIME
im guessing you live alone
you should see how fast a 20Mbps connection gets used with 3-5 people in one home |

There are many small businesses who operate on a single T1 (1.54Mbps) with anywhere from 5 to 20 people using it without issue. Now (as I have stated before), if the 3 to 5 people (kids) living with you are illegally downloading music/movies you will see an impact on the performance of your circuit.
If your network cant handle a 20Mbps connection with just 3 to 5 people on it, I strongly suggest you do some investigating. Do you have an open (unencrypted AP)? If so, you might have more like 25 to 30 people using your connection, and then your situation makes a lot more sense.

We are discussing how most sites cant serve you content at high speed (re-read the OP's comment), this has nothing to do with the number of users you have at your house. You could have an OC192 or a dial up connection, and you are still limited by how quickly the remote site can serve you data (in laymans terms, how quickly it responds to your request). If that remote site only has 10Mbps capacity, you are limited to 10Mbps! Why is this such a difficult concept for people to grasp??

| your still not grasping the concept of MORE THEN ONE CONNECTION
and you can use 20Mbps connection easily and legally
lets say... i want buy a game one Steam and a room mate is trying to watch some thing streamed from netflix
or and then some one else is getting stuff off of XBL
add VoIP in mix and gaming
sure maybe one site cant give you more then 10Mbps at a time
but that doesnt mean you cant be getting data from 2 or more sites at the same time
sure most of the time slower line would work out
but if every one is home and roommate A. is raiding and on vent and room mate b. is trying to watch streamed from nextflix
there not going to be happy when i start downloading from Steam
and oh steam can max out damn near any connection and when a game is 6-8GB let me tell you 100Mbps would be nice to have
PC gaming is moving to downloaded games Steam is selling more then any brick and morter store and id rather get a game off steam then drive the store pay 50 bucks and deal with shitty DRM |
