+ - Why we don't need gigabit networks yet-> 2

Submitted by AmyVernon
AmyVernon writes "Most computers today can't support gigabit connections and current Wi-Fi networks couldn't offer those speeds either. The first trial of Sonic.Net's gigabit network was a speed test on a generic laptop that showed off 420 Mbps down; the laptop couldn’t handle a full gig.

Plus, few applications need those speeds. It's hard to justify such a huge investment in a network that will have few subscribers and few applications that need it.

Of course, that can change, and then these networks will be vital. Story's a good analysis of where things stand and what has to change."
