The upstream improvement will be a big boon to online backup users, and its better for gamers, especially in multi-user households.
But seriously, what are ya'll planning on doing at 100 megabits per second downstream? ... That you couldn't accomplish at say 10-20?

I asked pretty much the same question earlier in the thread, and someone pointed out that it'll help families (or roommates) who share a connection. Two people can be watching Netflix movies, and not worry about someone torrenting and playing COD at the same time.
You mentioned uncompressed video streams. If these kinds of speeds become common it'll be only a matter of time before services like Netflix offer Bluray quality streaming video. I'll be sure to get the unlimited data plan when they do.
