Oh no... please do not discourage providers from offering higher speeds.
I understand that that individual devices might not be able to take advantage of of such speeds. But remember that any household could have a number of devices using the internet at the same time.
- Havoc 12y agoI get that, and I don't want to discourage anyone from offering higher speeds. I don't think you quite understand the scale though. As you say multiple devices...a 1 gigabit line means about a 100 people can sit at your house and stream 1080p youtube. Now unless you've got a very big family upgrading that to 200 people (2 gigabit) will not make any real difference. Perhaps when 8K+ video shows up then it might make a difference, but for now few things need 1 gigabit, let alone 2.
