How Will Consumers Use Faster Internet Speeds?

I totally agree with that. I can throw a 100MB ZIP into my Dropbox folder without a second thought. Box and Google Drive are equally snappy.

With Google Fiber "Free" and Time Warner before it, I was capped at 1 Mbps upstream and cloud services were much more or a chore.

In light of this, would you now revise your original comment?

Not really. Before or after gigabit, I'd throw that file in my Dropbox. It just sucks less now.

A fast connection doesn't mean that I'm deciding to throw more stuff online or make more use of cloud services. It's just nicer that the stuff I have to transfer moves a helluva lot faster now. So I haven't noticed a significant difference in my usage.
