Video is the thing that will finally get us faster IP networks, as it slowly replaces TV as the modern opiate of the masses. Even BitTorrent wasn't enough.
Not counting the fact that local governments subsidize the last mile. Also that routers and networking equipment keeps getting cheaper and faster.
It'll take a lot before I start to feel sorry for my ISP.
The thing is, I get amazing speeds from other sites and very good speeds from my EC2 boxes. Downloading MS/Ubuntu ISOs are just beautiful.
But those just aren't mainstream uses so I'm sure Verizon doesn't throttle those servers.
