    Gamers in Paris enjoy 2.5Gb/s Internet.

    http://slashdot.org/articles/06/07/26/127205.shtml

    Anyone who can spare 70 Euros a month and can get service from France Telecom in the Paris region can enjoy internet with 2.5Gb/s downstream and 1.2Gb/s upstream, along with free phone and television. The new network is purely fiber optic

    Yes those, gamers are really in for a treat when they have 250 Ping b/c 90% of servers are in North America.... Anyways, gaming usually only consumes about 40-50KB of bandwidth.

    As Westsideplaya has already pointed out, the possibilities are much greater for file sharing..... legal file sharing

    File Server:
    Super Micro X8DTi
    2x E5620 2.4Ghz Westmere
    12GB DDR3 ECC Registered
    50GB OCZ Vertex 2
    RocketRaid 3520
    6x 1.5TB RAID5
    Zotac GT 220
    Zippy 600W

    just imagine how much :banana::banana::banana::banana: you can download everyday with that, haha... just kidding.

    I have 3 meg internet.
    funny, I feel like compared to the rest of the world, this is ancient.
    but I can't even tell the difference between 1 meg, and 3 meg internet...

    Damnit..

    In Denmark such thing has been underway for.. 2 years now? In Copenhagen..
    Now we'll get it installed on 2th august at my home, sad thing is, school starts 10 august, 50miles+ away.. So Im moving to an apartment, timming, aye?

    Its more like:
    80USD for internet
    100 USD for television
    50USD for phone with this solution though..

    And one more thing, its 100mbit as max in Denmark, eventhough the cables can provide more than 364TB/s according to a NESA conference (company who puts them into the ground)
    Competition ranking;
    2005; Netbyte, Karise/Denmark #1 @ PiFast
    2008; AOCM II, Minfeld/Germany #2 @ 01SE/AM3/8M (w. Oliver)
    2009; AMD-OC, Viborg/Denmark #2 @ max freq Gigabyte TweaKING, Paris/France #4 @ 32M/01SE (w. Vanovich)
    2010: Gigabyte P55, Hamburg/Germany #6 @ wprime 1024/SPI 1M (w. THC) AOCM III, Minfeld/Germany #6 @ 01SE/AM3/1M/8M (w. NeoForce)

    See what happens when the government (a liberal government) subsidizes technology deployment to their citizens?

    note: I am not liberal in the political term
