No more (ir)relevant than download speed.

If you're talking streaming/movies/etc, then 105Mbps is completely
irrelevant.  Comcast already offers 50Mbps to the same customers that it
will now offer 105Mbps.  There's not a lot that you can stream at 105Mbps
that you can't at 50Mbps...

Comcast are claiming they can deliver this to 100 million homes 2015.

Seriously Tom?  Do you really think that there's be a 100% uptake, not only
on Comcast Internet service at all, but at the 105Mbps speed, or are you
just trying to waste everyones time with completely pointless numbers?  (And
that's ignoring the fact that their market cap is US$68B, not $50.7B)

I fit within that 100 million homes (and will be able to get this service
from Comcast as soon as it's released in the next few weeks), but I don't
have Comcast Internet.  Thus by your warped black-and-white logic, nobody
will buy it!
