Fibre optic broadband

Anyone got this?

Who with?

Satisfied?

Thanks.

I wish. Is this rolling out to consumers over there?

Prohibitively expensive here - even for most businesses. It would be serious overkill for most people and SOHO businesses.

Sheesh, that's less than I'm paying for my 4Mb line.

I get rubbish 1.7 from AOL but they blame my line as being the restrictor. Strangely that issue didn't stop them selling me an upgrade to "platinum slow" 18 months ago.

This industry needs a shake up.

Glad to hear it's not just Australia that has rubbish broadband. Our claimed 21 mbps is actually a shade under 5 but we still have to pay for the 21. They're painfully slowly rolling out the fibre-optic but I'll be dead before it gets here.

If fibre optical performance lives up to what it seems to be able to deliver then it will open up a lot of commerical opportunities and force the big entertainment providers such as SKY to rethink their strategies.

I don't think it's the optical media that's letting us down. It's the bottle necks in between that slow it all up. If we had fibre optic cables throughout the networks then everything would be running fine. It's the copper cable in between that slows it up.
