If your broadband package was only 1000Mb

Tonight I am working and a member of my family asks why is the internet so slow? Now we have a 10Mb package from a local provider and it works okay, although the last few days it was up and down. So I then asked the person how much bandwidth do they want and funny enough, I was promptly informed that they would take the maximum available. 

I was the project owner for the implementation of a 1000Mb aka "one gigabit" connection to a residential community just over a year ago in Trinidad. Whilst it was a first for T&T it was also the first such implementation in the english speaking Caribbean.

Implementation went well with a wonderful public launch etc. The reality is how many of us can afford it. Most of us can't but the speed would be nice given that you can download emails or songs in milliseconds plus get streaming 4k television content.

So what would you do with 1000Mb of bandwidth?
