You're right, but people were trying really hard to make shitty video experiences over dialup in the 90s. Really hard. Broadcast.com did audio (barely), RealPlayer tried to do streaming video, etc.
The only applications I'm seeing right now that need more bandwidth are 4k video (but honestly, 1080p isn't that bad) and upstream for VC. Looking around, I don't see anything where a 5x bandwidth jump would make something suddenly viable.
