Why would you need a fast connection for Starcraft ?

That makes sense but surely we should have faster internet in the UK ?

Yes as said above, Starcraft was and still is a way of life in Korea. When Starcraft II is released there, it's going to be madness..

100mbps:=)

They may say its goes that fast, but in the real world no one is going to get that. Mine says 7mbps and i get around 5, with the internet company slowing it down all the time whenever they feel like it, and since the internet is run in a monopoly you are screwed no matter who you get. Then you have the Japanese with 100+mbps connections only getting 40 on average.

They are preparing for starcraft 2 for sure. :)

In 2014 75% of Germany should have access to 50MB/s. I thought that was pretty fast. That would make HD-movie downloads pretty easy. 720p movie in 8 minutes is possible. Let's say a 1080p movie on your HDD in 25 Minutes. Really looking forward to this.

Or a huge game like GTA IV would be on your HDD in 10 minutes. Crazy.

A 1gb/s connection is just insane. That is like plug n play with movies or games.

50Mbit/s is enuff. You can stream 2 Blu-ray movies simultaneously with that connection. I can understand with a business, but why would private persons need more than that??

On Svalbard they tested Grid a couple of years back. 56Gbps...

Too bad the world will end before they can enjoy that 1GBPs to its fullest potential.
