In many (some?) places, the bandwidth is not a problem.
(E.g. in my area Suddenlink has recently upgraded all the plans,
with the slowest plan available being 15 Mbps down/ 1.5 Mbps up.
This exceeds what T1 offers (1.44/1.44), even for the up direction.
And the second level above that (which used to be 8 Mpbs some 6-7 years ago, when I signed up for it) is 50/5.

However, the problem is in the traffic monthly cap. With my 50/5, it is only 250 GB per month. And as far as I know, that's the main limiting factor with most ISPs (at least with the major cable-internet provider).

Now, speaking of the initial problem in this thread, I wrote about it
in a separate thread (my message seems to have been delayed for several hours):

Stan, I suspect it might be related to the problem you experienced.

I think it depends where you are. Over here I have 76mb fibre optic and a
very fast wifi and the whole cloud thing works really well.

The "cloud" makes me laugh, almost no one has the bandwidth available to
make the "cloud" work the way it's proponents claim it will work.  When I
get
a personal T-1 line, then we can talk about cloud computing, and even then
it
will seem slow.
