How much bandwidth do you actually need ?

I hope we’re not pushing the argument that people will be ordering 1GBps for home use.

I watch HD content on my VDSL service which consumes less than 5MBps.

Do you really need 100MBps for home use. What will you do with it.

Disclaimer: I have teenage children who consume a lot of internet – we work fine with 25MBps on VDSL.

I easily consumed the 100Mbps downstream that I had on DOCSIS3 cable.  I could easily have consumed more.  And that's without kids who have significant Internet requirements, and nor do I torrent or download a significant amount of media (I occasionally watch a movie on FetchTV, does that count?).

If only downstream speeds were the only relevant factor, and we could ignore upstream requirements, issues with asyncronous transmission protocols, etc...

People need to stop assuming that because THEY don't need more than they have today, that *nobody* will ever need more than they have today (and especially that nobody will ever need it unless they're somehow "doing the wrong thing").
