Well, in a few years when we’re all watching 4D 32K Netflix on our 16-foot screens with 5 million DPI, it’ll make all the difference in the world, right?

Doesn't stop customers from buying it if it's cheap and available, which doesn't stop them from proving they are getting 10Gbps as advertised.
Mark.
I suppose in reality it’s no different than any other utility. My home has 200 amp electrical service. Will I ever use 200 amps at one time? Highly highly unlikely. But if my electrical utility wanted to advertise “200 amp service in all homes we supply!” they sure could. Would an electrician be able to test it? I’m sure there is a way somehow. If me and everyone on my street tried to use 200 amps all at the same time, could the infrastructure handle it? Doubtful. But do I on occasion saturate my home fiber 300 mbit synchronous connection? Every now and then yes, but rarely. Although if I’m paying for 300 and not getting it, my ISP will be hearing from me. If my electrical utility told me “hey, you can upgrade to 500 amp service for no additional charge” would I do it? Sure, what the heck. If my water utility said “guess what? You can upgrade to a 2-inch water line at no additional charge!” would I do it? Probably yeah, why not? Would I ever use all that capacity on $random_utility at one time? Of course not. But nice to know it’s there if I ever need it. ---- Andy Ringsmuth andy@newslink.com News Link – Manager Technology, Travel & Facilities 2201 Winthrop Rd., Lincoln, NE 68502-4158 (402) 475-6397 (402) 304-0083 cellular &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& ---- Andy Ringsmuth andy@newslink.com 5609 Harding Dr. Lincoln, NE 68521 (402) 304-0083 cellular
