Out of curiosity--- and I really don't think I'm secretly channeling sour grapes, but
What does one do with 1/2 gigabit/sec bandwidth?
Once upon a time, bragging rights came from having the best audio fidelity and you had to pay for it.
Then audio reproduction got better than my ears reception and nobody cares any more.


Quote:Netflix said recently their HD is 4800 Kbps, which is 600 kilobytes per second, or 2.06 gigabytes (GB) per hour.

My back of the envelope calc says that you can download an hour of HD video in ~30 sec at 1/2 Gb/sec.
What does one do with the rest?  Download another hundred hours of HD?  Share with 99 other people, everybody watching a different movie?

I get ~17 Mb/s download 1.06 Mb/s upload and don't appear to have any problems, though we don't generally watch video online.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
