MIMO DSL → Hmm

Interesting, if it works AND it is cheaper than fibre, then thats great for businesses. However I see no advantages for a possible consumer product here, as the price for 14 pairs of copper would greatly outweigh any price difference.

this is really a business solution and the copper is already in the ground. it's significantly cheaper to use the existing copper for broadband than to pull fiber out to all business customers. the traditional challenge with copper has been distance. this seems to overcome some of the distance limitations.
