This is an interesting read.
"The surge in online content is at the center of the most dramatic changes affecting the Internet today," he said. "In three years' time, 20 typical households will generate more traffic than the entire Internet today."

Cicconi, who was speaking at the event as part of a wider series of meetings with U.K. government officials, said that at least $55 billion worth of investment was needed in new infrastructure in the next three years in the U.S. alone, with the figure rising to $130 billion to improve the network worldwide.

I'm supposed to have a 20Mb connection, the last few months it's been averaging 2-5Mb most of the time, and quite often dropping to half a meg. It's all down to over subscription on my local UBR as my ISP have sold the service to too many people without upping the capacity. Well, that and the fact there's so many scrotes using cloned modems.
