Interesting. Clearly, my wife and I are internet-lite users. 

According to Toast.net's website, the $37.95 per month DSL plan that we have "only" provides 6 Mbps download and 0.75 Mbps upload.

I don't experience any speed issues. Today, my wife and I are working from home, both connected to the internet, and the TV is streaming Pandora over the Roku box. 

I don't upload a ton of images and videos. I use ftp, but it's usually for files under 100 megabytes.

We're probably lite TV watchers too, since we don't internet-stream TV every day.  Television viewing is a low priority for me.

Even when we have family visiting, and everyone is connected to our Wifi with their phones and tablets, and the TV is streaming Netfllix, I still don't have any problem SSHing to a remote server.

I'm curious as to why you need such amazing speeds. 

A big household of people with multiple TVs and devices streaming video at the same time would be a reason. Gaming. Downloading a ton of crap from  Facebook.

If you spend a lot time viewing the massively bloated websites produced by media orgs, then yeah, I can understand why warp speed would be required.

That's one advantage of "gopher":http://gopher.floodgap.com/overbite/relevance.html sites: they're usually lightweight and fast to load.

We used to view sites like that over a 28.8k modem.
