kudos:1 | I don't need faster speeds right now I'll take a price reduction, thank you.
The only way that faster speeds help is if:
1. You have more than a few computers surfing at the same time.
2. You surf a web site that can actually serve content at 16Mbs.
3. You use P2P. | |

Internet access isn't all about the web and P2P you know. | |

kudos:1 | I use P2P quite often but not enough where extra speed is going to make a big difference.
As for streaming HD video or backing up, the site on the other end needs to be able to accommodate the speed at their end. | |

HD video streaming services usually use CDNs (Akamai, Limelight, Level3, Amazon) which are peered to backbone providers.
The internet isn't being served by webservers under someone's desk connected to a T1. Today's internet has tons of bandwidth, load distribution and redundancy. | |

kudos:1 | Re: I don't need faster speeds right now CNDs help to distribute content to many people simultaneously. Not really to improve your specific speed. | |
