Sonic.net's new approach to broadband involves stringing its own fiber lines to homes and offering bargain-basement pricing; indeed, the new 1Gbps offering is the same price as the company's earlier bonded 40Mbps DSL offering (in which two phones lines each provide 20Mbps of bandwidth to a home). The price even includes home phone service.

Just a correction. 500Rand is when you work in South Africa and pay for the line in America! A absurdity I know. The living standard in the States is about 3x higher then in South Africa. Therefore, the real amount the Americans are having to pay, is the equivalent of only 160Rand !ng to pay, is the equivalent of only 160Rand !

I think Finnish law states that every person (in Finland) has a basic human right of a minimum 100mb internet connection

I know europe is way ahead of america when it comes to FTTH or FTTB.
problem with america is everyone just wants to make money, in europe people want advance and overall speeds ^^.
its nice to see other things like google and and now these guys getting out there and showing what is possible with todays technology.
