+ wotsit's law which says in x years you WILL need 1gb 'cos all the servers will be doing that, films will be downloaded in super-3D-HD-4K whatever, digital cameras will be emailing pics at 100mb - and that is why BT's FTTC is such a waste of money as it just will not go there - and x is not a very large number! Predictions are 100mb as mean speed by 2020.
