Parkinson's law of sorts? Use expanding to fill the bandwidth available One kid with a torrent downloading random stuff, streaming hd and music off the internet etc and a family of four can make decent inroads into gigabit or so I would have thought Don't even start counting say a gb here and several mb there in software, os etc upgrades across a variety of devices. Exrtrapolating from current usage levels on comparatively lower speed broadband doesn't quite make sense to me --srs

How does one fully utilize a gigabit link for home use? For a single person it is overkill. Similar to the concept of price elasticity in economics, going from 50mbps to 1gbps doesn't necessarily increase your average transfer rate, at least I don't think it would for me. Anyone care to comment? Just really curious, as to me it's more of a marketing push than anything else, even though gigabit to the home sounds really cool.
