Yes, they call it cable TV/broadband...

no, no, the TV comes through the phone line.

Check out here how to get fibre, even if you think its unavailable, it is actually possible and cheap: http://tinyurl.com/3blkx5

My brother-in-law has fibre (nearly) to his door. He gets his phone, broadband and TV through it. And that was 3 years ago.

who says he has adsl

as you know adsl is asynchronous therefore not equal

as his is equal it is at least either dsl or broadband

I am inclined to believe his words that he has a 100mbit up and down internet connection at home

Milan.

Were is he based? Speeds like this are common on the continent, especially in Scandanavia, otherwise it could be an LES which are commonly 100 meg.

exlpains things - I doubt it's an option in most places though.

Yes, actually it is, my farm is in the middle of a nature reserve in the middle of nowhere and I have fibre...

In some forward thinking countries like say South Korea they take long term look and put fiber into houses: the main cost is that of digging ground.

alright lads calm down feck's sake

yes he has fibre

Relax benn - they use fiber there.

It doesn't matter whether is it ADSL or SDSL - You cannot get 100Mbps over DSL/broadband. Without going into all the details, it isn't physically possible due to the way data is transmitted.

If he is getting 100MBps in each direction he probably has Long Reach Ethernet connection to his provider, not something available over existing telephone lines.

If you can say correctly what latency is then you can upgrade from tape changer to whatever job snaw is doing

snaw - latency, that brings some memories

up here in the nordics....

my colleague just told me he's got 100mbit down and up !!!

atw, maybe you should move operations up to scandinavia !

He's either lying or confused.

It isn't physically possible to get 100MBps in either direction over ADSL.

As I recall, you probably need all that and more with your terabyte+ and ever growing collection of porn.

Current approximate count shows that I've got 870 TB+ of data (in uncompressed form).

Those connections in scandinavia have that speed internally.
