Guaranteed un-stm'd 50mbit * 10mbit is far more appealing to me than 150*20 with stm
The truth is there's nothing to use the speed with really. but there are people who think that the increased speed means more seconds and minutes knocked off.
They keep giving examples of how fast you can download certain things, but eventually you'll have to hit the speed of the server which will affect them stated figures.

It's like having a 1,000 MPH car. all the other 400 MPH cars have the same 3.4 sec 0-60 time as this 1,000 MPH car, but nobody has found a road where anyone has done even 300 MPH yet.
