Lexi,

10yrs ago, a standard low definition TV channel required 12Mb/s to be transmitted, with advanced compression techniques such as Mpeg, one only requires about 250kb/s or about 1/50th, and advanced systems are reducing it further.

99% of users would not exceed 1Mb/s except for downloads. Having 100Mb/s is like giving everyone a Mac truck to drive to work, or converting the suburban streets to dual lane highways. There is massive infrastructure that is only going to be used by a tiny fraction of the population.

Perhaps you could give me one thing that you need more than 12Mb/s for?
