Going back to the what would I use 24mbps (and at leats 1 mbps upload)….VOIP, TV via internet, movies on demand, gaming, video messaging. Also, I could do more of these at once rather than one at a time i.e. downloading a movie using 10mbps of the stream while I get some new podcasts with another chunk leaving enough to browse, use VOIP and game over Live. Easy.
