    There has to be a bottle neck somewhere. Maybe not internally but there is one.
    That is just too much traffic that can be generated.

    Fastest available internet in the Netherlands, in one town only, is a symmetrical 200Mb. But my current providers best offer is like 120Mb/10Mb. This costs around $120,-/month

    But I really don't understand what you'd do with so much bandwidth. I mean, there's not a server in the world dedicating so much upload to a single client. And even if they would, I liken it to using a fire-hose to fill a glass of water. Sure, in theory you could fill a hundred glasses of water in just a second... but for consumers I think they should ask whether they'd need that kind of capacity.
    I can understand it for businesses who perhaps have to ship TB's around the world for decentralized backups or data distribution. But for consumers?

    And indeed, I expect the bottlenecks are everywhere once you're that fast.
