TopTechNews takes a look at current bandwidth speeds and wonders exactly how much bandwidth consumers need. "For the average consumer, 6 Mbps should more than suffice for today's typical needs, whether it's downloading music, watching the occasional video, or even running a home network that lets two or three computers do the same all at once. Does anyone really care whether that song download from iTunes takes 10 seconds or 2 seconds?"

They've obviously never visited our forums.

"When you start adding up how much bandwidth that the average home with a couple of teenagers might consume between 6 and 9 at night -- two or three people watching HDTV shows, playing music from the Internet, playing online games -- the bandwidth demands are going to be gigantic," says Mark Wegleitner, Verizon's chief technology officer in the piece.
