My two cents
In my opinion, this project is a good starter to bring us towards real high speed broadband if TMNET able to provide quality and reliable network like FTTH ! But before that, there are still a lot of improvement on the current DSL broadband services that need to be done. Why don't apply an upgrade to 4MB Streamyx broadband for your home ?
