100Mbps Home Internet Service Next Year in Finland

Posted by timothy on from the helluva-commute dept.

Listen Up writes "According to an article on CNN, broadband Internet access via cable modems in Finland will be able to hit 100 Mbps as early as 2006. That would be 50 times faster than the average broadband speeds now offered to cable TV homes in Finland. Do you think this technology has the possibility of reaching U.S. shores? Or do you think the already deeply entrenched U.S. politics are going to keep this technology from ever reaching us? There are already thousands and thousands of miles of 'dark fiber' underground around the U.S."

    Thank you Timothy for, once again, inserting your personal bias in the fucking article on slashdot. You need to pull your head out of your ass for one second from now on before posting ok? We're smart and form our own opinions. You acting the ass hat just makes us think of you as Michael's Succesor to the title of "Greatest Asshat on the Internet".
