More like the speed of the system your getting your data from limits it.
Problem with the internet, there are 2 sides to that connection and you have
to pass a lot of stops along the way to your destination.
The telcoms have been pushing this stuff for a long time, and while its
great if they can implement it nationwide, currently its like having a
superhighway from your door to the end of your driveway - then you still
have to take that overcrowded 2 lane all the way to your destination.
Also consider, how fast is your computer's backplane? 100 Mbit, 200 Mbit??
That Gigabit connection doesn't seem too useful does it?
