Theres hope yet for the phone company

In a matter of mere weeks the cable company will begin selling its DOCSIS 3 service which exceeds 300mbps (with no stated limit). Their advanced hybrid fiber/coaxial network makes it all possible.

However Nokia-Siemens is attempting to breath new life into the phone companies network. They are doing R&D on a new DSL technology that has tested to 750mbps over existing copper network at 500 meters (from a fiber node or central office).

Who knows, maybe by 2020 the phone company will have some high speed service.
