| For now.. For now, take it with the same grain of salt that Adelphia's 15-20megabit announcements have, namely vaporware.. its good to hear, makes you feel good about what's coming, but until it happens.. Nada.
Plus this is a big 'if', what would the price structure look like? Would a 50 or 100mbit tier of broadband be included in a triple play package? Not likely.
Would it be $40, $50, $60, More? Probably more than $60 bundled or not. Don't even get your hopes up of getting back your 10mbits which IS the current advertised speeds which are relatively FULLY capable of the current netowrk, but not offered (keep this in mind when thinking about that quantum leap forward).
Plus, once speeds go OVER 100mbits, which is THE line-in-the-sand for broadband speed wars.... YOU NEED A NEW ROUTER, and GIGABIT ETHERNET CARDS/motherboards(if it has it on the board), etc... which are not making the rounds in networking companies drawing boards yet... much less full-scale production!
So really, its a race to the 100mbit symmetrical finishline for now until we get some gigabit routers! | |
| Moron. Maybe you should investigate something before you start spouting off at the mouth. Gigabit cards have been available for quite some time now, and are relatively cheap. Alot of the newly released routers are also including gigabit connections, pricey but wait a while it comes down quick. | |

Disagree...
Hmmm. I use these motherboards:

It seems to me that Gigabit ethernet is all over the place right now.
Agree...
Granted, I do not have a gigabit router but I do use one of these Linksys switches on my gigabit network:

It's just a matter of time before gigabit is mainstream and I would bet that consumer grade routers with gigabit capabilities will arrive before any broadband connection even comes close to needing that speed!
