Hi all
I still think these xxxx mb download speeds are a bit of a "sucker them in and then make them pay" type of scenario.
If you want remote access / operate any type of web site etc etc then UPLOAD speeds are important too.
I'd much rather have a 10 Mbs DOWN AND UPLOAD speed than say a 20 or even 50 mbs download and a sluggish 1MB UPLOAD (which is usually a lot slower than that in actual practice).
However the customer is NEVER asked and the capping now of bandwidth makes the whole exercise rather academic in any case.
If it's going to cost me MORE in bandwidth to download and watch LEGALLY a film in full HD / 1080p definition than it would do to buy the blu ray DVD then I'm going to continue to use Satellite HD transmissions with smart cards sourced from (can't say on the Forum of course).
A lot of this superfast stuff is just sales hype --always look at the small print.
Cheers
