Though it's nice to have why would one *need* 100 Mbps at home? I 
understand the necessity of internet access and agree everyone has a 
right to it. But that necessity can be perfectly fulfilled with a stable 
internet connection of a reasonable speed (say low to mid range DSL 
speed tops).

I don't regard simultaneously streaming 6 channels of TV and downloading 
the latest movie torrent in 2 minutes as a basic necessity, let alone 
essential.
