More internet enabled devices in the home (VOIP phones, Media Centres, IPTV, multiple computers, internet radios etc) require more bandwidth. 50MB is being targeted at doing multiple bandwidth intensive things simultaneously.

Which is all well and good, but as soon as you try and connect to the US it slows to a crawl because VM have skimped on the transatlantic peering.
