My question is........where is the limit of the speed you speak of?

IMO......technology is always evolving.........so what is considered adequate today could be seen as little more than dial-up tomorrow.

Next question.........who is willing to pay?

I have just been migrated from ADSL to NBN FTTN.

My tested line speed checks out at 145 Mbps down and 54 Mbps up possible.

I initially went for 25/5 and that is being achieved, but now it seems for $30 extra I could be getting 100/40 Mbps.

I've also read where Telstra is trialing 5 Gbps wireless speeds in capital cities.

I think before we start talking about internet speeds we should understand where such speed is needed and who is prepared to pay for such speeds.

Cheers

It will be interesting to see if the speed stays the same or if it gets worse over time as more users connect and share the same line.
