Guys, Mb=Megabit, MB=Megabyte. Officially, megabit-->megabyte is deviding by eight, in practice, more like 10 because of the overhead.

Still, mighty impressive.

On the other hand, how many of you are at the limit of the conn anyway? I can get over 400kbps downstream out of my cable for streaming vid, and still seamleslly play CS. My downloads keep coming it at 70kbps on average, 20 for filesharers, and 120 as a max most of the time. Sure, I'll get 200+ on the downloads from my own providers mirror, or even for small packets from a site like Mozilla, but not IRL.

The upstream, on the other hand, is what I'm interested in.

To me it's a question of price.

The fact that these new super-broad band lines are in development means that the average/low end lines may be driven down in price (what good is a super-broadband line that you've spent millions developing when nobody but business' can afford to use it - and they already have T3?).

Hopefully then it'll act vaguely like the graphics card market, with faster lines driving down the speed of the slightly slower ones to make them more attractive to the consumer market.

I hope...

Yeah, I have that here

www.bredbandsbolaget.com

They cover me for the 24mbps

Same price I'm paying for the 2mb one

As soon as I sell this modem I have now, I'm getting the 24mbps (for the price I sell the modem, It'll be enough for the new one)
