The most obvious way that the increased bandwidth will be used is
for the faster downloading of increasingly higher definition TV
shows and movies, of the sort that cable companies don't tend to
list in their usage comparison charts that I've seen (usually they
only equate usage with much more compact and lower visual quality
[SD] standard definition programming).

To be fair, the Comcast press release (cited earlier) about the coming higher speeds specifically did mention HD video download speeds.
