We all need a Ferarri.

We should spare no expense until everything and everyone is above average.

4K is going nowhere, except to the remainder bin with 3D.
The latest attempt at planned obsolescence is the curved screen. Even curved PC monitors!!!

And if you can stream high definition with 3.5 mbps, your
car probably gets 100 mpg, too.

They just want more companies to file for corporate welfare.

It is pretty stupid that we pay so much for internet when Thailand for example pays 30 dollars a month for faster speeds that we do. So I don’t think it is a bad thing to demand faster speed if it is available around the World. We are supposed to the best country after all. We just pay more for everything then the rest of the World.

Bread and circuses. Give the poor people in the sticks subsided bandwidth that is adequate for porn streaming and political campaign ads. Yee Haw.

Well, they wouldn’t need so much bandwidth if they stuck to NTSC in black and white.

I mean, which would you rather watch - the new Daniel Radcliffe movie (don’t ask me about it - you’ll have to look it up for yourself), or Vic Morrow in Combat!?

Who is funnier - Lena Dunham or Don Knotts? Anyone on the current SNL or Curly?

Seriously now, amirite?

Interestingly I have dedicated 4ms, 50Mbps fiber optic at my office required to run my software on its cloud server. I have 10Mbps at home and I run that same office program, Netflix, internet etc with no discernible difference despite the time of day or on weekends when my home TWC connection shrinks to 5-6 Mbps.

The speeds at above 10Mbps are almost irrelevant today as it depends so much on your url server as the limiting factor regarding access.

Five miles from a town of 9,000 in a county of 40,000 and I got nothing for internet. Dial-up or a cellphone card with crummy reception. Thanks Verizon, ATT etc.
