FFB Week 32 – Why You Should Always Sign Up for Gig+ Service

Gigabit Fiber Can Add $326B to US GDP – Bandwidth Is All About Efficiency And Productivity.

Many have heard the argument that “symmetrical Gigabit bandwidth is mostly just marketing hype… there are very few, if any, applications that require a Gigabit today”.

Applications simply being functional misses the real point! The question is how effectively and how efficiently applications will run.

A new study demonstrates, via solid scientific evidence, that with higher bandwidth comes greater efficiency… and fewer wasted human hours. A user at 100/20 Mbps wastes about 18 minutes per day (adding many increments of a few seconds each) versus a user at 700/500 Mbps (an example of a gigabit customer constrained by Wi-Fi etc.) This time saved obviously has significant financial benefits – to both the individual and the country.

This session will discuss the evidence behind the study, and its full implications for fiber and broadband.
