...residential connections were even fast enough to stream hi-def. With the exception of FIOS none are reliably able to do it. My 8Mb CC connection was lucky to sustain 6Mb which would barely do well compressed Hi-def and during the evenings throughput would drop to the 2-3Mb range, and I see the same with most cable operators (according to DSLR speed tests anyway) attempting to match the speed of FTTH.
So the discussion of the costs of passing 1TB of data is irrelevant when their current services can't even deliver that much throughput.
