I must say the truth really can be different when reading this. I took a
research and found out that a fiberoptical cable can handle up to that kind
of speed in tests, as they had done with that old lady in Karlstad. But the
speed on their internet for the people is yet totally different. I went to
their homesite in Karlstad, Sweden, http://www.elnat.karlstad.se/ trying to
find out more. So I found out the speed for the people/firms can be up
to 100 Mbit/sec up and download but normally is 10/10 Mbit/sec, after what
you will pay for.
We have had this kind of fiberoptical cable here in the district for some
years now and my children have used it privately from the start with 10/10
Mbit/sec and they can get up to 50/25Mbit/sec speed if they want to pay for
that kind of speed. They also have TV and telephone on the same cable. Firms
can allready get up to 100/100, so you see it's not any news at all;-)
By the way, I have ordered fiberoptical
http://www.lyse.no/category.php?categoryID=5047 and will get it at the end
of August/beginning of September.
So as far as I can see, it's just the competition in the marked that's
setting the internetspeed with a fiberoptical cable.
