I hope not. Well, not until the 1.5 meg is stable enough for me to be happy with.
Just seems it was reliable as a house brick, until it was upgraded "free of charge".

at the moment it's probably a status thing - some people want the fastest car even if they only use for it 10 mins a day!

it will probably drive breakthroughs such as film rental via the internet - this is probably the next step after rental via post.

you'll pick a film, then download it to your pc and watch it in real time perhaps via wireless link from your PC to your TV or pick films which are auto downloaded in background and stored ready to view on demand.

well said m8, until they can get the present stuff running right there's no point even considering a 3mb connection
