100Mbps Home Internet Service Next Year in Finland

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."

You are right, but at the same time I think companies should offer plans for people to get a decent upload speed and static ips. I want to run a server at home, but can't! I currently pay 50 dollars a month just for a dedicated server to run Enemy Territory and a few websites. I'd love to throw that on hardware in my home. It would certainly speed up my ping rate! Now if the hosting company can make money on me at 50 dollars a month, why can't charter? 50 dollars plus the 100 i pay them for cable and internet should certainly cover 3mb down and even 512kb upstream with the 1 static ip i would need. I can nat out the rest from my freebsd machine.

Geeks have special requirements and i'm tired of getting the same packages and treatment as my mother in law.
