In a household with 5 TVs running, and IP replacing traditional cable TV, you'd want to support 5 1080p+ broadcasts with 7 channel audio at once just to support your TV needs. Throw in new HD web cams and video conferencing, which you may want to have 10+ going at a time in your house for various reasons, and I can imagine using it all.
In any case, I don't look at it that way. The way I see it, most of us don't have enough. I'd be afraid to stream more than one HD movie at a time in my household. So, the best benefit would be removing all of today's real limitations.
The question is whether or not the economies of scale would be worth it. At a minimum, it should eliminate the need for tiered pricing and eliminate all excuses to oppose net neutrality. What if we could offer this high speed to every citizen for only $99/mo?
How about upload limits? They are pretty severe today. This could permit every citizen to become a net broadcaster and host any web site or service they want, including hosting videos.
