I think there is too much emphasis on the last mile speeds. I see complaints all the time that other countries have 100mbit links to the home whereas the USA is stuck with 5-10mbit. Personally, I have 25mbit down and Fios is always trying to upsell me to 50. However, I never get those speeds to real internet sites. Sure, my speedtest comes in right at 25mbit.
