faster airplanes

I was curious about why boeing and airbus are not interested in developing jets that fly at faster speeds. The development of jets seem to be for longer range and more fuel efficient but not faster.

I dread every long haul flight. If the flight time was cut I'd be willing to pay more.

So, why is there no interest in faster jets? I'm sure it has to do with the economics but what makes it not feasible? Obviously the Concorde didnt do too well.
