Hang on, what? I think you have the wrong end of the stick, I have nothing wrong with people using high speed connections (would would anyone?), I was wondering why people think they need a 50mb line when a 10mb line would do just about everything they need. Apparently Daniel TGC is the only person here who isn't fooled by marketing.
Reminds me of those Intel ads a few years ago that informed you that due to the processor being dual core, you could read e-mails and download files at the same time.

Well that's totally not the poorest response I've ever seen to this question.

Sounds a bit suspect, since I've never been able to play a game while simultaneously surfing the web, let alone do that while listening to music AND talking to someone. But fair enough, that would use a fair amount of bandwidth. Nowhere near even the limit of a 10mb connection though.
As I said before, I agree that video streaming requires quite a lot of bandwidth, and that's probably one of the few real reasons to have one of these high speed connections. OnLive too, although that's a really specific exception since it's not widely used yet.
... Maybe I'm actually poking at the huge amount of pirated material that we no doubt all download on a daily basis.
Support a charitable indie game project!
