8K will be next.
Probably, but perhaps not for a while. I think very few people even
have an 8K TV right now. Some people still have only a 1080p TV.

Our TV is "only" 1080, which we got back around 2013. This one replaced our old 480p plasma that was getting too dark to watch during the day.

Perhaps I could have worded that differently - I didn't intend to talk badly about 1080p TVs.

LOL, I didn't take it badly. I just remember standing in a Best Buy once inawe of how beautiful 1080
looked thinking "it looks so real, I can't imagine it looking any better!"and now people are talking

Yes, that happened with DVD too.
Now you have snobs telling you that DVD looks like utter manure.
Something I find of concern is that there seems to be an arms race for
TV size. They are making them bigger each day.

Depends on the size of screen. DVD looks quite fine on my 32" LCD screen
at a 12' viewing distance. But a DVD on a 42" screen starts to reveal some pixelation ..and you would probably want to sit back further when the
screen is larger.

Who is buying these uber-large screens? I thought the trend for homes was downsizing.

I _still_ think (ish, anyway) about 1080p, because most of the time I'm watching Youtube at 360p.

Side Note: My grandpa has this fancy schmancy new hearing aid that has built in bluetooth. So my grandma was sitting there reading a book
while my grandpa was watching TV and the room was completely silent.
It's paired to his iPhone as well.

But the sooner it's reasonable to stream 8k, the sooner detestable Internet providers will have higher limits on home broadband
connections.

Mine's unlimited, can't go any higher than that. ;)
I kinda forget what I had in Germany. I think it was Deutsch Telekom, so big phone company. I don't know if the Germans are any better at
having non-terrible telecoms, though.
I don't really know either, but a, being large, and b, being a government entity you'd have to think they'd be slowish to get things done. Back

Yeah. In my experience, municipal broadband is the best. Then next is
any company that doesn't have strong ties to any of the Baby Bells or large cable companies.
It's nice when "not Comcast" or their ilk is an option.

Our problem here is the government botched the NBN installation, and went for a dodgy and already obsolete FTTN system, when FTTP would have
And ALL of that is rather irrelevant to me, because of the reminder equation "US != World". :P

You realise they backtracked because the original plan was so far
behind schedule the whole thing would be obsolete and the year 2075
before they finished? As it is, I still couldn't get NBN until last year....

Indeed. :)
Forgive me, in this case, due to the large amount of pain that the
telcos have caused in the US.
I'd mention possible causes, but I'd probably start a political rant.

I did think that Australia was a fairly good equivalent to the US on broadband, since it's _so_ spread out, thus it's not quite as easy for there to be amazing things like I occasionally hear about for South
Korea or Japan.
But there are a lot of other considerations that are important that
have nothing to do with geography, so reading about your experience is interesting.
Probably $$$$ LOL

I think it depends. We have a 42" LCD which is more than fine for us.
A visit to the grandparents last weekend revealed their new 60" super
thin LED TV. That thing is huge, but I guess when you're 88 a screen
that large may be easier to see.

Hah! Yeah, I assume that's pretty much always the issue, in one way or another.
The thing with fibre is the limits are what's o the ends of it, unlike
A friend (sadly passed away) couldn't even get ADSL speeds out of his FTTN. I think it synced at something like 10-14/1, and he had to go

That's I think the worst I've ever heard, in which case they need to do something about the copper on the end too, but if you're going to that
you might as well finish the fibre. Replace it as it becomes unviable.
I can see the attraction to using the copper on the subscriber end
though most of it would probably be the newest of the copper out there.
