what you do to fill difference between 200, 500 and 1gb?..

It's sort of amazing that people still say these sorts of things today.

I don't think it's at all inconceivable where people in the future are streaming high resolution multi modal personal sensor arrays to AI that is running in a data center...and ditto we are streaming ever more content back.

That's just the in vogue answer of 2026. There are undoubtedly endless innovations that I can't envision that will require ever more resources.

My point is just that every single "X ought to be good enough" has been proven false. And the only times where we see consumption really plateau are due to other reasons than desire (like cost).

its sort of amazing how people dump so much far fetching speculations in response for such simple and specific questions.

We are quite literally talking about launching 100k satellites into space.

This is necessarily a question that requires thought and speculation about the future.

You can't just flip a switch and do it overnight if it turns out there is demand.

And if there isn't demand, you are going to lose a lot of money.

Uploading large files is probably the biggest thing, 4k video streaming (out) while others in my house are streaming in or playing games with no slowdown.

I remember watching hours pass uploading files on my 200 mbit. Still take time but much faster with gigabit (measured at 940 bmit, so not the full 1gbit)
