For telcos it's cheaper to install and use faster 10gb/s fiber optic than using its existing 1gb/s network. I thougt they were lazy fucks who only do something when not doing anything is more expensive. Fascinating 10gb/s internet future ahead of us.

If you are bored and want to learn something new, watch this cringe worthy video where verizon talks about its fiber optic network. It's even worth to watch for non us amercians.

    @Jilano thank you. I have gotten 10gbit fiber at home but can only use 1gbit because my macbook doesn't support more.

    @heyheni "Time to get something else, then!"

    Truth be told, having a high speed connection is great, but you realise that most servers will never send anything to you at your highest download speed, so it doesn't matter that much after a point.
