Closing In On 1Gbps Using DSL

angry tapir writes "DSL vendors are using a variety of methods, such as bonding several copper lines, creating virtual ones, and using advanced noise cancellation to increase broadband over copper to several hundred megabits per second. At the Broadband World Forum in Paris, Nokia Siemens Networks became the latest vendor to brag about its copper prowess. It can now transmit speeds of up to 825M bps over a distance of 400 meters."

Um. great, how many people are within 2 city blocks of the local wire center?

They need to be working on extending the speeds out past 15,000 feet (5,000M) if they want folks to get excited.
