What would you do with a 100mbit/s or 1Gbit/s connection?

I think i will use it to upload large GBs on private trackers...

Disappointing. Please note the original post of this thread: Don't just tell me how much porn/warez/movies you'll download - be creative.

Make my own hosting for my website.

^Most residential connections around the world prohibit hosting as part of the terms of service and block incoming HTTP requests, so that probably wouldn't be possible.

The bandwidth you're talking about can be really useful in working from home for things like developing web sites or applications (screen sharing or otherwise creating a new web based application to share the coding environment) or how about creating songs or movies(Garage Band or Final Cut) or maybe attending a seminar or distance education(interactive) or giving a seminar to students from home or a different city. I can certainly think of more ideas if I have such bandwidth at my fingertips…

edit: I would also actually need it to allow me more than 5-6 devices as at any one time I can have 1-5 devices being used in my home normally without guests.

I would like to stop dreaming and wake up

I'll keep all my computers backed-up with a cloud service, host a couple of private game servers for my friends and I (CS 1.6,Quake 3, UT3, Crysis 2 etc...), I would invest in an adequate computer (or Ultrabook ) and hook it up to a good monitor and then use Onlive or something similar to play the games I want, I would finally stream YouTube in 1080p (or 4k if I get a TV which supports it) instead of 360p, and put my music in the cloud so I can access it on any device..............Thats all I can think of atm

I guess many here can update it now.

Did this guy ever actually start an ISP? I remember loads of posts from him

Well most people with 1 gig plan complain about how they are unable to get full speed, those who get full speed mostly brag about how they hit 1 Gbps on speedtest servers
I guess we never needed gigabit plan for residential customers
No one can justify the current price of these plans irrespective of the ISP
