1) High-res voice and video over IP.
Yes. And by high-res, I want fully immersive experience: the feeling of being there. I spend so much time on skype or on the phone talking to people remotely: it's BAD.
2) Streaming HD movie rentals
This only requires 20 Mbit/s tops. It's already available today in several countries. I don't need 1 Gbit for that.

Unless you happen to have more than one person living in your flat, in which case any single member of your household could be doing something different... the MBit/s do add up fairly quickly.
- fragmede 17y ago2) Streaming HD Given that large a pipe, I'm sure higher quality sources would start being available, that start at 20-Mbit and only increase from there. Throw in 3D, which for some reason is seeing a resurgence, and you easily increase the bandwidth requirements. Also latency. Streaming movies seem to require a large buffer such that scrubbing back and forth on the timeline (to find where you left off of) is cumbersome. Taking advantage of a faster link would improve that part of the experience.
- ElllisD 17y agoI'd have a room with rear-projection screens for walls. The wallpaper & hanging pictures would change depending on who came over. It would be used to virtually attend concert events. There'd be some sort of virtual reality mode that scaled images to adapt and make the corners invisible, so it could look like I'd be eating my microwave dinner at the top of Mt. Everest, or underwater in a coral reef.
