Why is 100mbps tragically low? That would be enough for all but a vanishingly small minority of consumers, surely.


because that's no where near gigabit. and what large majority of users do is that really the metric we're going for here?

also, when's the last time you transferred a large amount of data over that slow of a connection? i don't care! I do it every day, and i'm all that matters!!! /s

Well I don't know what your metric is, which is why I'm asking.

I'm sure there are people who upload a lot of content and need > 100 I'm not trying to invalidate those. But they're also the people who know what they need and can pay for it.
