15 years ago was 2001, most people were still on dialup and ADSL speeds topped out at about 512k down (assuming you could get it at all) and I think cable was maybe 768k. Don't even remember what upload was, probably 64k.
Dunno what you're trying to say, really, things have more than doubled in 15 years.
15 years from now I would expect gigabit speeds to be the norm.

When the top home product was 8Mb my office connection was such that the slowest part of it was the 100Mb switch port to my docking station.
I was fortunate enough to be fairly close to the exchange using my employer's ADSL 2+ product and had a home connection that could be encouraged to run at 22Mb down and 2.4Mb up.

Aha, "encouraged". I like that term. Let me think, 3Mbit being the top home product must be about what, 2004?
