I have a 50mbs download package (allegedly) and some days I actually see that rate. They definitely have to expand bandwidth to accommodate higher quality content and I see no reason why those greater bandwidths couldn't be implemented more cost effectively for consumers.
I agree on cable.. it's just something I've always had and still watch it for my local news and weather but I'm finding it harder and harder to justify the price. I've already gotten rid of my landline phone a few years ago; seems these old standbys are finding themselves irrelevant and obsolete in today's world. I don't have an issue with that as long as whatever is replacing it can deliver as good and preferably better quality.
I do believe blu-ray is likely the last of the physical media formats we'll see. It'll def be around still for a long time but like someone said above there's no justification in developing and marketing any brand new formats beyond it these days... it just wouldn't be a competitive decision. It's like them trying to improve upon the cassette tape long after CD's became a thing.
I predict streaming will be the future and eventually we will see greater bandwidths to accommodate the traffic. Discs will be obsolete. Relics of a foregone era.
