OK first of all, it was a fiber connection and it was 2MB. It was throttled by the ISP. This wasn't a fiber LAN, just line. Look it up if you don't believe me. And second of all it was on about a broadband conenction to home users and so on. Which leans more towards the notion of internet access rather than video calls. And I never said it wouldnt be available, I said it would be a long time before it became available to the populus.

Read it before thinking that I was having a go at you and jumping back with a response full of virtual roll eyes.

Not to get on your case in particular but when's the last time you've heard of high speed internet access distributed to housing over Cat5 ?

It's either fiber which involves high end nodes etc or catv cabling
