Re: The Carrier Response

Link? And as long as things are fast speeds don't matter?

Go ask the average non-tech user how fast their broadband connection is. They probably won't even know what you're talking about. For them, Internet (sic) is either "slow", "fast" or "down."

Again, just because they don't understand the jargon doesn't mean they don't want and or need it. And regardless, I'd imagine you would get different answers depending on how you framed the question.

"Do you need ultra high speed broadband for your daily needs?"

Answer: No.

"Would you like to have the option to watch high definition movies streamed over the internet via a service like Netflix?"

Answer: Yes

All of my customers have been wanting faster services that even includes people who just do business. Some are sending large file attachments now compared to maybe a year ago. Higher quality pictures and video are being demanded. More of my customers prefer remote assistance without the need of a local technician.

Online backups is another big one with some of my customers, like carbonite, skydrive and vise versa. Now that more and more devices can access the internet it's really not about the personal computer anymore but all the devices that need to run on a single connection at home.

Split a 6mbps connection with 3 computers and 3 wireless devices such as a cellphone and add 3 tv's per living room and all your left with is a bogged down connection.

Answer: Yes

those 2 are not relevant to eachother, you don't need ultra high speed broadband to watch hd movies. 5.8 mbit is more than sufficient

I think you missed my point...we're talking about people here who wouldn't know the difference. So you could obtain whatever response you wanted simply by framing the question a certain way.
