Ok so internet is increasing in speed and size, the first is needed to help support the latter!

Are we in danger do you think of the internet getting to a speed where it is too fast for its
purpose?

Already in the UK that problem is surfacing, people are just getting on 24mb's and finding that
most site cap limits for individual downloads are approx 300kb/s TOPS and usually its much lower
than that!

Phat Internet Connections are primarily for Multiple Streams, firstly youll need it for Triple Play Services since VOD is a very high bandwidth application using up to 6mb's of bandwidth.

Secondly you don't want your VoIP Service getting interrupted.

24mb Services are perfect for multiuser environments and are very difficult to saturate making broadband a truly Unlimited Experience :)

In any case use a Download manager and set your downloads to 2 or 3 links to partly bypass the speed limit from HTTP servers.

No, the internet can never be too fast...

Pretty soon the internet will be a WORLDWIDE network, and will be used for finance, records, and more.
