Don't forget that it wasnt that long ago that large majorities of the country had access to nothing but dial up speeds. 768kb/s is a huge improvement over 33-56kb/s speeds. Before fiber starting going in for residential installs, most didnt have access to anywhere near the speeds that some providers claim to offer today.

Exactly. I just got upgraded to 1.5 mb from 768. I have downloaded a few items, but takes hours to do so. All in all, I prefer PQ over speed. I can watch HBO GO live, so maybe a perfect world solution would let you pick the PQ... I know, world isn't perfect
