Synchronous or Asynchronous? Honestly I don't have use for more than 10mbps or 20mbps downstream. I'd kill for 100Mbps upstream, though, so I could either back up all of my media on a remote server, or just store all of my media on a remote server or (sigh) "the cloud". My camera currently generates raw photos that are 22MB in size, and if I get shutter happy, it's not too difficult to fill up a 16GB card, especially at a concert or a big event. Keeping my media reliably backed up is pretty difficult, and currently involves two hard drives, one of which I bring with me to my Seattle datacenter whenever I can. And forget about Video, I have 2TB of high-res home video just waiting to be lost in the event of a dual spindle crash. The other thing would be to use some sort of telepresence service for chatting with my daughter, who lives with her mother. All of the normal video chat systems (skype, yahoo, google) are pathetic imitations of what popular science promised we would have had 20 years ago.
