What are people doing at home, for "personal" reasons, that would need 50 -
100 Mbps down, and 50ish Mbps up?

From what I gathered from this site, they just want to release the capping
the ISP's do on the available bandwidth for the customers, not necessarily
allow Internet for all citizens. ISP's truly have a large amount of
bandwidth available to consumers, yet to control pricing and overhead they
cap speeds and gradually release them on an accounting-time-period-basis.
I have AT&T at my home, and the highest Mbps down available is 24Mbps, but
compared to a year ago, its twice as fast. So it just happened to be
available now instead of last year?
If I were to pay $65/month for 100Mbps/50Mbps, I would gladly do it. So
long as it's available. Knowing it's available yet being restricted is what
is irritating.

Though I would love to see the US and all broadband providers give us better
services, my concern is at what cost?
If I look at my home service, 24 Mbps down and 1.5 up, is running $65. That
is pretty cheap, but still a LONG way from 100/50 Mbps. I am really curious
what the government feels is "affordable access"? It would seem that only
businesses would pay more than $100/month for service, but a business would
require some type of SLA. At my office, I COULD get 100 Mbps service, but
have no idea what the price would be. Considering 3 Mbps service is costing
me $530 for a business line, I would not even want to consider the price.
