Your crappy connection can stream HD video, but what happens when you are streaming HD video, someone else is downloading some large files, and another person is trying to get in some online gaming?

Edit: Hell, nothing stops you from doing all of this at once yourself.

I had the chance to meet with some EPB execs who said that for the most part the residents who had the 1Gb/s service got it for bragging rights or because they could. One gentleman does use it to stream HD movies from his server at work to his house.

Obvious next step is 3D HD.

Also Onlive. Also more than one TV at the same time?

Live streaming HD video cameras from inside the house to outside when you're at work?

3D video telephony.

3D HD and 100 HD channels. In some years, SuperHD. Easy and instant sharing of files with your friends across town, and later across state and country.

I'd be running a TOR node, personally.

I do that on a 30/30 fiber connection and surprisingly it only goes about 100kb/s in both directions.

Multi-participant HD video conference?

3D 5K resolution porn.
