How Fast Will Your Internet Be in 10 Years?

By , About.com Guide   August 4, 2010

Follow me on:

You may think you have fast Internet service today. Or you may have resigned yourself to a future of agonizingly slow connections. In the U.S., at least, the range of Internet speeds available to homes varies greatly depending on location.

Will it always be this way? Newsweek's Ryan Tracy sampled a few of today's predictions for what U.S. Internet speeds will be ten years from now and leaves us to draw our own conclusions. My thoughts on the future:

  • variation from location to location will be as huge as ever
  • assume your connection will carry 10 times as much network bandwidth at home as you have now (unless you move) and 50 times more when roaming
  • we aren't going to need as much of this bandwidth as many seem to think
