I honestly do not know what I would do with more bandwidth.  Faster
upload would be great, but I don't run a server.  Backing up to my
online backup would be more convenient, that's all.  I have the basic
speed (8Mbps?) from Comcast and my wife and I can both watch something
from hulu.com just fine.  I'm not sure what more speed would get me.
Not that I wouldn't love it, mind you, I just don't know what I'd do
with it.
