Your right. Actually, Bell knows that home does not need that much BW, Bell size their network for much less than that. However, from a marketing perspective, when Bell says to a client I am offering you 1G at $100 and competition are offering you 30M at $60, some clients likes that because they ignore that 1G will not make a difference compared to 30M. Also Bell is currently using ADSL technology to provide internet service which is a dead technology. So, Bell has no choice but to move to fiber if they want to stay on the market. KARIM M.
When I'm downloading an ISO or USB bootable image of, say, FreeBSD 10.x, that speed difference makes a difference to me. I grant that I'm not Joe Typical by any means, but the number of people who aren't Joe Typical isn't zero -- not by a good bit. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mikea () mikea ath cx Tired old sysadmin
