German Telecom announces Project 'Lightspeed'!
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Deutsche Telekom have just announced that they will be rolling out 50 Mbit/s connection in 50 cities around Germany by 2007. By mid-2006 the first 10 cities will be connected to the new fiber network, covering around 2.9m households. More immediately there will be a free six week trial starting in Hamburg and Stuttgart which will run at 25 Mbit/s. If you're interested, you'd better sign up at their site quickly - it's expected to fill up fast (not surprisingly). Project 'Lightspeed', as they refer to it internally, will give Germany a leading position in Europe for broadband speeds. The project will provide fiber to the curb and will cost them up to Euro 38. |
uhm, whats that... like 6.25MB/s ?? Thats not that fast.. you can even get a few packages here from rogers or cogeco that will match that.

BUT... They are going to offer 50 (once again that's FIFTY) Mbit/s... That's 10 (TEN) times what Rogers is offering... No one here is able to match that. |
sweet :thumbsup but if that comes here, that siht will be expensive, like 100 a month or something

a few years back i was talking with my friends from holland who could barely get 0.5 MB DSL . I was all cool and with 1.5 in canada . Now they have 8 MB and I have 3 MB . Soon they'll have 20 and I'll have 4 .
Resembles a race in between a corola and a viper , with the corola getting a head start . |
Thats wicked.
|
DAAAAMN, with such speed we can experience something like 3D Porn LIVE. :) sweeeet.
|

a few romanian cities have been on fiberoptics for a few years now . At least 10 MBps , however the connections out of the country are still shitty . But the speeds they get intercity are unbelivable .
