Honestly, do you think you are the typical user?
I'm not a typical user either, but then again, neither are most of my
friends. We are all always downloading huge files and playing (often
bandwidth intensive) games on line. Those of us with cable broadband
(4Mbps/512kbps) often tease the one guy in the group with DSL because
he crawls along at 1.5Mbps/384kbps. :-D My provider has just done
some major system upgrades, and supposedly higher speeds are coming
soon. I can't wait. <drool> The only time I have too much
bandwidth is when the machine on the other end has a slower
connection than I do.
I think that there are a lot of us non-typical users out there, but
we are probably still in the minority versus people like my
parents. They mostly surf the web and read e-mail. The only large
files they download are software updates. So for them, and the
millions out there like them, paying a premium for higher bandwidth
would definitely be a waste.
