Your right. Actually, Bell knows that home does not need that much BW, =
Bell size their network for much less than that. However, from a =
marketing perspective, when Bell says to a client I am offering you 1G =
at $100 and competition are offering you 30M at $60, some clients likes =
that because they ignore that 1G will not make a difference compared to =
30M.
Also Bell is currently using ADSL technology to provide internet service =
which is a dead technology. So, Bell has no choice but to move to fiber =
if they want to stay on the market.

How does one fully utilize a gigabit link for home use? For a single =
person it is overkill. Similar to the concept of price elasticity in =
economics, going from 50mbps to 1gbps doesn't necessarily increase your =
average transfer rate, at least I don't think it would for me. Anyone =
care to comment? Just really curious, as to me it's more of a marketing =
push than anything else, even though gigabit to the home sounds really =
cool.
