A family has 3 PCs. PC 1 is having a voice chat and playing an online game while downloading a game demo. PC 2 could be having a video chat and checking emails and PC 3 could be full out downloading from 3 or 4 places. Not one PC will be "unable" to do a certain task because they do not have enough bandwidth so video, voice and gaming will be unaffected.
Families are getting more and more internet enable devices all the time from PCs/Macs to Games Consoles and PDAs.

WRONG
If I had a big red marker I would cross out the post too.
What makes you think an upgrade in your download speed will have a beneficial impact to the way an Internet route is delivered to the rest of your PCs ?
Update the upstream and latency then maybe you'll get a better share of bandwidth between your machines.
If I were to come over to your home network and utilize you upstream the effect would be the same on all your machines : REALLY RUBBISH BROADBAND.
The effect would be the same no matter what speed your service is 10meg 20meg 50meg whatever.
FAO Virgin : Better lattency and upstream please
