LOL, no way in America is that going to be true.
- voidUpdate 3y agoI live on the outskirts of a city in the middle of England and I /very/ much doubt I'll see 10gig in 10 years
- fragmede 3y agoWhat if that kind of bandwidth becomes available over cell networks?
- voidUpdate 3y agoI've restricted my phone to only using 4G because I've had a lot of problems with 5G feeling a lot slower than 4G. I've not done any quantitative testing on it but it just generally feels a lot slower, even when I'm looking right at the 5G mast, and the 4G mast is behind a few buildings. If whatever problem it's having can be fixed, and it can be priced similarly to broadband, then maybe

- hobs 3y agoIs this supposed to be a joke? I cant even reliably get 1G in most places.
- hansvm 3y agoI can't get 0.05G reliably in most suburbs, even when I do the worst-case ping in a typical 10-minute window is 500+ms, and there are still many places in the US where the best internet I can find is under 0.001G.

- _carbyau_ 3y agoMeanwhile in the rest of the world it is ALSO not true. That opening blanket statement turned me off so hard I couldn't get past that paragraph to read the rest of the article. I am struggling to justify 10Gb LAN in my house. Between purchase costs and energy requirements (some 10Gb arrangements seem to be crazy inefficient). And I like "more, more, faster, faster" in my tech. How does this scale (and cost) across even a significant section of human society?!? According to the article's prediction things must get crazy soon.

- _carbyau_ 3y agoAn interesting article. Given it applies to "A high-end user's connection speed" I am dubious as to the applicability to everyone else - say the bottom 20% of society for example - and so I am most doubtful of the article's "everyone will have 10Gbit" claim. Maybe "everyone" has a stricter definition than I think. But as someone who has literally grown up alongside PC's - your link gives confidence to look forward to the crazy ahead. :-)
