NYC by far has the highest population density of any US city. If an ISP is looking for the most bang for the buck, deploying there is going to access the most number of subscribers with the least amount of physical plant costs. One of the biggest expenses of deploying new technology such as fiber is the labor and material costs to get the fiber to the home. If you can hit more homes in a smaller area, it means lower deployment costs.
Plus, ~20m live in the NYC and surrounding communities. That's 1/15 of the coutry's population. Odds are very favorable that more then one or two people posting here are in the metro area and would want to have those speeds. It's no different then people in smaller cities wondering when they will be getting such access, just that there are more people in NYC so their inquiries would naturally be more numerous. |

Although it's funny that you say that because it is the BRONX (and the rest of CV's footprint) that is getting OOL's 101MB service.
Why do people in NYC think they should have the fastest internet? Why not, doesn't everybody want fast internet? Being the most populated city in the U.S. helps as well.
edit:didn't see cdru's post below me. |

Of course two isp there would have the same cap because they know they can screw with ALOT of people because there is no other connection you can get there. (talking about wired or fiber)

Sure have that many people in one area have only a few isp in the area have caps hit and people have no where to turn.
Hell if i was a ISP up there i would put the screws up there, look at all the money to be made off caps. Then the rest of the country could be cap free then. |

What if higher speeds are used for streaming or other applications? |

You never know what is next in the pipeline coming out. You already have 1080p downloading what about when 3D launches? Xbox has already talked about that so that eats up MORE bandwidth. So yes content gets better and BIGGER you download MORE. |

So yes content gets better and BIGGER you download MORE. I use all that right now. Just because I upgrade to 100Mbps symmetrical doesn't mean I'll suddenly start watching more movies or gaming more. I'll just be able to do it more easily. |
