Re: What happened to high speed internet?
1-A form of this already exists - most cable providers offers movies "on demand" over the high bandwidth cable line.
2-You would still need to pay for the service that connects the call, transitioning from the Internet to a phone system.
I think eventually the move will be made to everything coming over the Internet. Phone, tv, etc. It is already starting, but in order to make the transition fully a lot of infrastructure must be upgraded. For example, full fiber optic cable needs to be available to maintain the bandwidth for all of the customers in the area. This can be expensive to implement, and at this point there is not much need for faster speeds. I have a practical download rate of 10Mbps, but nothing I do comes close to using that bandwidth. Most download servers can not handle that much data, and online games do not come close to using even 1Mbps in most cases.
