HotAss: An article I read said that you would be able to get the HD version of a movie in about 30 seconds. That is unreal if I could only play the lottery.</p> jkeppler: Internet2 is not new it was developed nearly a decade ago.

Your ISP doesn't need Internet 2, what they need is faster "last mile" service. That either means ADSL2 or laying fiber or DOCSYS 2.0. These technologies are all already here, it is just a question of when they will be deployed.</p> The backbone speeds (what we are talking about here) we have in the US are fine and in most places used nowhere near to capacity.

It's not about providing the best service to the customer, its about making the most money. :)</p> the oligopoly isps have in the united states is disgusting. there’s no reason why they can’t provide customers more bandwith, they just stand to make too big of a profit off of us ‘lowly’ users.

They are using some form of wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM, CWDM, etc.) to get all those channels in the same fiber. This means expensive boxes at every junction, but no need to spend $$$ laying new cable.</p> Tyler, there may indeed be multiple fibers but the 80 channels they are talking about are all in the same fiber.
