I would guess that 95% of households never utilize more than 20Mbs, ever. Most of the time, the only way your going to use (notice I said use, not 'need') more than 20Mbps is if you are streaming more than 5 Netflix streams at a time or downloading illegal software/movies.
Saying that Americans 'need' over 25Mps is ridiculous.
If Americans needed, or even cared for faster speeds, companies would deliver. They would pay more for faster speeds.
