>What are people doing at home, for "personal" reasons, that would need 50 - 100 Mbps down, and 50ish Mbps up?
I can say that I use my home connection for email and searches. I don't download music or movies. Now, this discussion seemed to "home in" on poor people having Internet Access. Poor people probably can't afford to legally download music and movies, so they really wouldn't need any significant speed. As an aside, I'm with AT&T and they are pushing Uverse like crazy. I had them come out to install just Uverse Internet, and they couldn't do what I wanted. All I wanted was the connection point fed into my office on the second floor of our house. They said they couldn't do that, it could only be on the main floor. The reason I wanted the connection in my 2nd floor office is because then I could use my own wifi router and wouldn't have to make a number of changes, like move my wireless printer and wifi router to the first floor and get a wifi net card installed in my old desktop computer. Of course I could run a CAT5 cable from the first floor to the second floor, but that would also be a pita! All I wanted was a faster line. Currently I have the "Elite" package, rated at 6.0 and I'm only getting 3.5, but for what I do, that's plenty fast. Lately, I find that I'm "waiting" for websites to respond!!!!
