Would be great if the utilities, or the cable companies, or whoever, would get involved.

My throughput varies, but it can be anywhere from 10 mbps per second, all the way down to 2 on a bad day. I'm in the NY area -- hardly the boondocks. Like I said, streaming does not look anything like a BluRay. I think being in first tier area makes your connection worse, because of more plugged up traffic. If I lived somewhere like Raleigh, NC for instance, I'd probably be able to download 1 GB per minute.
