    If you are bewildered by FTTH and other 4 letter stuff read this...

    http://www.iec.org/online/tutorials/fiber_home/

    "Telecommunication carriers worldwide have come to the realization that their aging copper access infrastructure is being taxed as residential and business customers utilize ever-increasing, symmetrical bandwidth-intensive applications."

    The standard speed for the home of the 21st century is 21Mbps. (unlike here of course where it's 2Mbps)

    "Today's networks are being designed to provide more than 20 megabits per second (Mbps) while three to five years from now, carriers will need capability of more than 40 Mbps as multiple services are used in the home, high-definition TV (HDTV) becomes more prevalent, and users demand faster Internet connections. This is resulting in the largest investment in the access network since the turn of the century and the wiring of the western world for voice services."
