Fiber-to-the-Home Internet, TV, Phone in One Box

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday April 12, 2002 @08:07PM from the all-in-one dept.

Brian Stretch writes "This looks like a really neat toy. Internet (PPPoE), CATV, DBS, telephone over one fiber optic cable to the converter box that breaks it down into 10BaseT Ethernet, coax, coax, and three POTS lines. I'd prefer more Internet bandwidth, and DBS and HDTV (from over-the-air broadcast) instead of DBS and CATV... but hey, these things could whack both Ameritech and Comcast in one shot. Is anyone familiar with these or any competing devices?"

Japan has hot little school girls, too! Not to mention tons of scat and golden shower fetish porn stars.
