Re: World's Fastest Internet™ in Canadaland

[Rafael Possamai <rafael () gav ufsc br>]

How does one fully utilize a gigabit link for home use? For a single person
it is overkill. Similar to the concept of price elasticity in economics,
going from 50mbps to 1gbps doesn't necessarily increase your average
transfer rate, at least I don't think it would for me. Anyone care to
comment? Just really curious, as to me it's more of a marketing push than
anything else, even though gigabit to the home sounds really cool.
