50-100mps as user-availalble bandwith is more than sufficiant now, but what about three or four years down the line? This network could be complete in 2010, by which point the size of data (even judging conservativly, from past estimates) will far exceed that. Imagine what we might have considered a 'fast' net connection seven to tens years ago...
