One immediate use for an ultra-fast 1gigabit connection speed that comes to mind is its potential to serve as an alternative means of receiving entertainment programming. I am a customer of satellite TV, and I cannot currently receive high definition programming, because of all of the trees surrounding my residence.
I currently watch a variety of TV programs on-line, and, with such a fast connection, I can imagine watching HD movies and other programs via the internet rather than by satellite. Up to now, I had not seen a need for a large computer monitor, but with the possibilities that Google Fiber could bring, I can definitely envision a future need for a considerably upgraded monitor, or hybrid that could take advantage of the new entertainment options such a fast connection could bring. Of course, this is still thinking small.
