I think we already discussed that BT will roll this out sometime in the next decade as long as you are within 1cm of the exchange.

BT Mistook it to mean 1[GreatBritain] Broadband. We will all have to share the same line!  :eek4:

I think you should be able to get 1GB broadband unless you are a banker, they should be restricted to 256k to reduce the rate they can trade at to limit the speed at which they can destroy the economy.

I can see the point of 1Gbps for streaming high-quality video etc, but for other purposes... I'm not sure I could do a sustained write to a hard drive at that speed?

Our upstream connections at work are 1Gbps but we run a lot of servers running services for external users.

1Gbps should equate in theory to 128MB/sec. Your average desktop drive will do 30-50MB/sec, so you'd probably need a few drives RAIDed to cope with that... or SSD, of course. They can now do nearly a gigabyte per second in multiple configurations now.

Oh. I was thinking of this last night, while trying to sleep. 1Gbps is not enough. We need at least 10. For the new Holographic streaming media!

Oh, it's 360 degrees of rotation. So not true volumetric holograms. But it would need appropriately 360 times the bandwidth of current videos.  :eek4:

When you consider the fastest speeds available to a select few in this country are not enough to stream today's standards, I'm not surprised some countries are already looking further ahead.
