Computers could use small local hard drives and download what you need instantly. All of your documents would be backed up into the cloud because your entire hard drive would essentially be "the cloud"

Bandwidth does not eliminate light speed latency or guarantee IOPS. Flipping through an image album or loading game assets could suffer.

With that much bandwidth, you'd just prefetch every single photo before the user was done viewing the first.
