Pretty nice looking pic.

I need one of those small electrical boxes myself to tidy up some of my equipment and lock it up away from prying hands!

They are only doing new homes as well....wish they had the finances of verizon and had a much higher CAP.

Only in new housing ! and cant be retrofitted ! met these guys on business and they are rolling out fibre to the home by way of the MANs in some locations ! fibre brought to a pillar in your housing estate and CAT6 around the estate ! streaming internet, tv and phone and more or less whatever you can use the CAT6 for !!

only bad thing is that it has to be fitted with "new homes" and they only have a handful of completed projects and a fw in the pipeline !

main issues is builders buying into this product as a pposed to coax or copper !!!

Each house has 200mb conection sysmetreical ! split 2mb for Internet, and the rest TV and phone !!

They have a product video on demand ! and basically you can order say ET and it downloads in a few secs to your box on your telly for an immediate start !

Also, you can order incresed bandwidth when you want it ! ie 2mbit contract and then 10 m/bits / 20 m/bits when you have your toorent mates over !! lol or just when you think you wanna have video conference with all your relation in Austrlia !
