Re: Better hold on...
7Mbs, 10Mbs? That's nothing, Verizons NEW Fios (FTTP) service here in the USA will soon go as high as 30Mbs/5Mbs($199.95 per month), As soon as the Fall of 2004 I hear, 15Mbs/2Mbs service is scheduled to be at $49.95 and 5Mbs/2Mbs service is scheduled at $39.95 per month. And Yeah I qualify....

Re: Better hold on...
hehehhe....Verizon always promises great things and then drags their feet...we will see if they can dleiver 30MBps...in 2004...anyone want to bet that they will compete with their own T3 and T1 services in order to offer these speeds to a resi customer? 
Then again, competition could be waking their monopoly @sses up! |

Think again. This means lot's of those big telco pipes prices will be dropping. Wouldn't it be nice to have a t3 for your business at 2,000 instead of 15,000. Will be a fun next 4 to 5 years in verizon country.

I've currently got fiber to my home as part of a municipal fiber project in Provo, Utah. 5mb/sec up and down for $35/mo. Able to go much higher if desired at reasonable costs. |
