Re: 3-4 Years Yeah, right. Just 3-4 years ago the top speed I could get for reasonable money was 6mbs, now I get a whopping 15mbs. Huge improvement for 3-4 years (yeah, right). Yes, I have fiber as well, just because they have it, doesn't mean they're going to offer it. |

| your right you won't get it unless there is a competition in the area. so if fiber and vdsl is out cable will beat the speed until one or the other is maxed. |

| if this works then it could mean a cheaper path to faster broadband for a whole lot of people. there would be less need to spend money on costly network upgrades. this would be especially helpful to AT&T, whose FTTN/VDSL plans would be helped greatly if there was a method by which they could get more from the VDSL side (say what they will, i still think FTTN/VDSL was the wrong choice).
just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping this turns out to be more than just hype... |

I have to agree I mean this is the United States we're talking about. All other countries may advance by leaps and bounds but most of us will still be stuck with single digital mbps because theres no competition in our area. Then if they do increase speeds, without competition theres gonna be a price to pay. |
