@mattotcha the problem isn't to get high speeds. I worked for an #ISP that routinely offered 100 GBit/s #fiber links to other ISPs for their cell towers.
For example, #Netflix and espechally #YouTube compress the shit out of content becaus bandwoth is expensive and even the earliest 1080p24 #HDDVD looks better than 1080p streaming, as they have ~ 35MBit/s of bandwith whilst #streaming rarely goes >15 MBit/s and oftentimes extra aggressively reach < 5MBit/s in less action-heavy scenes.
