200mbps DSL On Its Way?

An anonymous reader writes "I came upon a news story about Texas Instruments developing a new DSL technology which will allow ISP's to boost their bandwidth to 200mbps (Yes, mega bits per second). The UDSL service, as it is dubbed, is backwards compatible with current DSL technologies such as VDSL and ADSL. This should get many cable internet users, like myself, a second look at DSL." Update: 06/15 01:26 GMT by T : "mps" and "mbs" both de-mangled.

It's also amazing that a poster to Slashdot, and the particular front page editor, hasn't managed to learn the SI unit prefixes (which I know was your point).

6 megabit down/608 kilobit up ADSL, 8 static IPs, 80mb web/e-mail space, 5 mailboxen, Linux shell acct, two commercial (newscene and supernews) nntp accounts w/out monthly quotas, CGI, POP3 over SSL, IPv6 tunnels, mbone connectivity, access to procmail and SA on their mail server, and awesome tech support. $45/mo promo for 1yr. I'm happy. Current $45/mo promo is 3/418 ADSL (everything else is the same).

Regional ISPs rule!
