I get 100mb down / 10 up with Charter Cable here in WI. Honestly its over kill for 2 laptops a PC and PS3. If the Missus and I didn't get free cable from us working there we wouldn't even have that speed.
It could be worse with bandwidth caps like other places in the world, like Australia. When I played WoW they always hated patch days because it would eat up their bandwidth and for part of the month they would have a severely limited connection. Near end of the month it was common for one or 2 people in a 25 man raid to be unable to play because their bandwidth was capped and WoW was extremely laggy.
If you don't mind me asking what are you planning on doing with all that bandwidth that you would need over 40mb/8mb? Hosting a server, or multiple large torrents with lots of peers?

Hosting a server, yes.
With my current internet I can only host 16 people. If I could get fiber optic internet, and a small RAM upgrade, I could host over 100.
