Re: dang

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.

would be funny as hell 100/100 connection with a 250g cap.

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)

I don't think so. Just because you can download something faster doesn't mean you'd suddenly start downloading more.

Actually that is under the assumption than higher speeds are used for download.

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

look at the 360 and netflix(example) and other services that are coming online so YES you will use more when services like that come to the masses. internet is not for geeks anymore.

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.

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.

I simply don't think that's true and I've never seen any evidence, either directly or indirectly, that proves otherwise.

This is NEW ground here of course there is no evidence with speed that high.
