Re: caps?

I never said it is a sweeping statement I made. But to say almost everyone who gets faster speeds will consume tons more is a bit off.
I would never say the same either, but the available room to grow should always be available to those who wish to take advantage of it.

Of course. Do I consume some more as things can be done faster, sure, it's enevitable. But the notion that almost everyone will download 4-5 HD movies per se instead of 1 is a stretch.

I completely agree. As my speeds have gone up, my consumption has too, but not because of the increased service speeds, but because of the availability of services themselves, like TV streaming from NBC and the like.

However, that a correlation, not a direct cause. I don't actively go out and hunt for ways to saturate my connection.

What I DO want faster speeds for are things like faster file transfers via VPN to/from the office, or faster up/download for client files and reviews. That amount of data has remained fairly static over the past couple years but the time it takes to up/download that data has lessened considerably....which is simply a matter of convenience.
