This is a really bizarre thread. The point of high capacity internet is because it is the future of all entertainment media - music, movies, games, etc. Try downloading an HD movie from iTunes or Xbox Marketplace on even a 20mbit connection and see how long it takes.

Countries like Japan and South Korea already have 100mbits+ and are going to push much further. Sadly our infrastructure is so antiquated the gap between us will become an epic, unsurmountable gulf over the coming years.
