Neat.. never going to get it here.
Fiber deployments have pretty much halted completely in this country. You get just about what you see right now.
What a shitty infrastructure we have.

Wow really? I had no idea. I'm on 25/25 I think...or maybe it was 35...I don't remember, but it seems fine for what I do online. Thought about bumping it up for 5 bucks, but didn't really see a reason to.

Yeah.. pretty much stopped almost 2 years ago now.
We were supposed to get fiber from our local telecom, Qwest, or whoever they are owned by now, but then they showed up at my door..
"Get service up to 1.5Mb to your home"..
Uhh.. thanks fucksticks.. you did construction on one of the main roads by my house, sent 3 people to my house on separate occasions to annoy me, knock on my door, to tell me fiber optic internet was coming to my home..
And then.. it.. doesn't. Just plain old shit DSL.
Why did they stop?

I don't think they have stopped completely because we recently got Verizon FIOS here where I live. I know last year it wasn't available.
Curious, could you even use speeds like that? Like if I was downloading a 20 gig game from Steam, would it actually download at 300 mb/s? I don't mean YOUR connection would be slow, but that somewhere between steam HQ and your house it would get slowed down a bit.

Well.. they "pretty much stopped".. they are filling in hoods here and there where they have aggreements.. in some places, that's the entire state.
But they have stopped pursuing further franchising agreements.. so if they don't have rights to your area, they aren't looking into that any more.
Previously, they were going to expand into new areas. They had a schedule that went out for years, and they pretty much pulled it.
But they aren't even necessarily deploying to all of the places they currently have franchising agreements with.. because of costs (@Ferris).
It's most useful for multiple concurrent connections.
Something like a torrent could theoretically max out 300mb/s, but no, a single connection to a single server? That's maxed out on the server end.. well below 300mb/s. Probably well under 100mb for even the most high end services.
