That's not what I would call revolution as I still guess hundreds if not thousands of subscribers share those 108 megabit/s, right? Yes, fourfold increase but ... that's still only factor 4. expands it's offering (currently, you can get 50Mb/s down and 30Mb/sec up), etc. If things are really as fragile as some have been saying, then the bottlenecks will slowly make themselves apparent. Upstream capacity will still be scarce on shared media as far as I can see. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: [email protected]
