Re: So what?
said by wifi4milez  :said by HarryH3 :What do the folks that have uber-pipes do with them? Heavy online gaming? Other things? I'm certainly curious! Online gaming takes up very little bandwidth, you can easily do it on a 128k connection (its the latency that matters). While there certainly are some legitimate uses for high bandwidth connections, the majority of people on this website use them to steal copyrighted content. How exactly did you determine that "the majority of people on this website use them to steal copyrighted content"?
Did you do a survey or talk to all 1,087,145 current login accounts here at DSLReports?
I think your characterization of the users here is a bit out of touch. I would also venture to say that over the course of the last year, OVERALL P2P usage in the Country has declined as a direct result of legitimate streaming becoming more available.

I would venture to say that a majority of DSLReports 1,087,145 users don't engage in illegal file sharing. |

Sure, there are legal uses out there, however, nobody is foolish enough to suggest the majority of the uses are completely legal. |
