I understand, but I was referring to the average home internet connection. But even for work 100Mbps seems a bit overkill for most purposes. Whole offices work fine with a "mere" bonded T1 at 10Mbps. Admitted it's symmetrical and is more stable. But regarding speed it's quite a bit slower than the mentioned 100Mbps home internet.
I need 100Mbs at home because I want to see a streamed movie NOW, not in a month because someone considers broadband a luxury :) Pretty simple usage scenario I might say.
