Download files at 50mbps and you could be awesome
Would you ever be able to justify using a 50mbps download speed connection? You would be able to download 24 hours worth of music in about 8 minutes at that speed. That’s amazing. Is it really necessary though? What’s too-fast?
There’s some good discussion and a good post about this topic up at Om Malik’s web site. Most of the comments fall around the topic of upload speed. Saying that the sensation of a fast connection is limited by your upload speed. I agree.
Uutterly and completely justifiable. Honestly, why should there even be progress bars at all?
I should be able to click on something and instantly see it. Period. Doesn’t matter what it is.
Sure, right now, people are mainly using the high speed technology for illegal music downloads and videos. But if we could just get a *little* bit faster, suddenly legal downloads would be more feasible. I want to be able to view any news feed or movie in HDTV quality at the click of a button. And I think people would be willing to pay for this.

I recently changed to a 100 Mbps plan. The reason for that is that it’s cheaper than my previous 12 Mbps VDSL plan. C’mon 100 Mbps for $35/month.

Wow, we have something like 8mbps here at our office and we’re paying over a hundred dollars a month (business class). With that measely download we get an even more pathetic 768k upload which lately has averaged around 350k. Insane. I wonder if you can get 100mbps in Phoenix for a decent price?
