The trunk into our local community (27 appartments, I'm the chairman
of the board) is 1 Gbs. Anyone can order 1 Gbs and the ISP will open
up the port in our local fiber switch (in our premises) for an extra
fee (do not know the fee, noone has asked). I do not think anyone
today sees any need for that. The IP-TV takes 2-5 Mbs and the rest
is enought for "surfing". And besides, one do not download VMS
ISO images every day... :-)

about VDSL2...

I upgraded my office downtown from 24 Mbs ADSL (usual gave 15-16 Mbs)
to VDSL-60 (always stays spot on 60 Mbs +/- 1 Mbs when measured).
I was more interested in the higher up-link (from 2.0 Mbs to 12 Mbs)
for the document services on my server.

Jan-Erik.
