Verizon is increasing the speed on their FiOS network. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20080618/D91C9B9G0.html Is it reasonable to think that the higher speed might be wasted on a lot of consumers? Especially if they are using an older computer... say a 2.0GHz Pentium with 1GB of PC2700 RAM and a 5400RPM (or even 7500 RPM) hard drive. Most of my customers have older slower computers. I usually advise them to speed up their computer (buy a newer, faster one) before committing to higher priced higher speed internet access. Should I be advising them differently?
