How fast do you think Fiber Optic lines are?

hmm the rollout of all this fiber to your home won't happen anytime to soon. If you think about a wired world then you have to consider half the planet has never even used a telephone. That is three billion people. The physical infrastructure is not capable at this time to rollout that fast because it just isn't feasible when these concerns are accountable to stockholders. I don't think IMHO, that we will have OC-3 SONET to our houses anytime soon. The cost would be high, really high. If you take a look, as I am sure many of you have, prices for internet access haven't followed moore's( it is somebody else's law first. Does anybody know who's? email me please.) law as computer hardware has.

Yeah, these speeds are fast. what about powerline technology via carrierwave instead of in the line itself. Everybody could have it and the expensive rollout and installation is not necessary. Has anyone thought of this as an alternative to fibre? (links, articles please) Like some people stated earlier not everybody will get fibre in their neighborhood yet, so what do you do if you want to play diablo vii.

Everyone keeps saying that they heard about his technology and that technology. They are all great but no one can really even say what the limits of fiber is. There is much research into using multiple light spectrums at once which will all unbeleivable increases in bandwidth. As of now there is no limit for fiber. There might be a limit for 1 specific technology in fiber but a combination of different technologies will increase the posibilites for many many years to come.

For everyone talking about wireless, the problem there is that the FCC controls the radio waves, companies are only alloted certain limited amounts of bandwidth. There is plenty of bandwidth in the upper frequencies but high frequencies don't travel through things very well.

For ultra high bandwidths, fiber is the way to go, at least for the forseeable future.
