You Don’t Want Super-High-Speed Internet, Says Time Warner Cable

Experts believe that this reluctance has less to do with a lack of customer demand and more to do with protecting high margin broadband businesses.

Time Warner Cable chief technology officer Irene Esteves says you don’t really want the gigabit speeds offered by Google Fiber and other high speed providers.

On Wednesday, at a conference in San Francisco, Esteves downplayed the importance of offering a service to compete with Google, as reported by The Verge. "We’re in the business of delivering what consumers want, and to stay a little ahead of what we think they will want…. We just don’t see the need of delivering that to consumers," she said, referring to gigabit-speed internet connections.
