Well gents, here is a sneak preview of what Fibre to the home customers get,

This is an actual connection, speeds are limited to this due this being the commercial product offering ,

Note not effected by distance to the exchange, now this is really next generation broadband services don't you think

I'll Take 2 thanks ;) Can I get fries with that bandwidth?

Its nice for net use, but we are going to need to see more than that for IPTV in the future once you start wanting to watch more than 1 stream at a time, unless you are planning to distribute TV passively.

you obviously didnt read the first post, just looked at the pretty picture..

"This is an actual connection, speeds are limited to this due this being the commercial product offering"
Fibre actually runs at around 1GBps per strand..
