Our results imply that disconnecting an average property from a high-speed first-generation broadband connection (offering Internet speed up to 8 Mbit/s) would depreciate its value by 2.8%.
Our findings suggest that access to broadband of at least 2 megabits per second, download speed, had become crucial for those working in the creative sector at the time of the fieldwork (this minimum critical speed is now likely to be faster).
Driven by media-rich and bandwidth-intensive Internet applications, 100 Gigabit Ethernet embodies the next logical and necessary line speed following 10G/40G, although enormous challenges exist.
This bandwidth cost is well within the Internet speed limits and data caps for many smart homes.
This finding suggests that there may be a minimum threshold of necessary broadband access, beyond which increases in speed become a less important factor in the take up of online coursework.
We find that while protocol overheads, which have dominated the community’s attention, are indeed important, reducing latency inflation at the lowest layers will be critical for building a speed-of-light Internet.

While for Internet communication this is acceptable, the overhead is too high in data centers.
Our results show that cost-effective, affordable high-speed wireless Internet access can be provided in rural and remote areas.
Our results show that cost-effective affordable high-speed wireless Internet access can be provided in rural and remote areas using nontraditional and innovative approaches, bridging the so-called digital divide.
(10) High-speed Internet access advantages include "always-on" access to the Internet, information downloads at significantly higher speeds than traditional modems, online access without tying up telephone lines, videoconferencing, employee telecommuting, and access to entertainment resources.
