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.:uhh:]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22373994 Mon, 11 May 2009 20:52:36 EDT Re: dang http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22373012 said by hayabusa3303:

would be funny as hell 100/100 connection with a 250g cap.
I don't think so. Just because you can download something faster doesn't mean you'd suddenly start downloading more.
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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22372892 Mon, 11 May 2009 17:21:46 EDT Re: dang http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22372658 said by Matt:

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

What if higher speeds are used for streaming or other applications? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22372636 Mon, 11 May 2009 16:38:24 EDT Re: dang http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22372376 said by hayabusa3303:

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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22372321 Mon, 11 May 2009 15:42:22 EDT Re: dang http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22372302 said by Anaerobic:

Why do people in NYC think they should have the fastest internet? Why not, doesn't everybody want fast internet?

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)

said by Anaerobic:

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.
o yes looks at the start up fee »Cablevision 101Mbps: $300 'Activation Fee']]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22372302 Mon, 11 May 2009 15:39:41 EDT Re: dang http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22372208
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.

why is it that when people are from nyc they think they should get fastest internet than anyone else? what makes nyc special?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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22371818 Mon, 11 May 2009 14:11:06 EDT Re: dang http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22370504 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22370504 Mon, 11 May 2009 09:46:52 EDT Re: dang http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22370495 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22370495 Mon, 11 May 2009 09:45:00 EDT Re: dang http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-dang-22370452 said by glinc:
