    Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What really sucks for me is that the Telcos here are dragging their feet laying fiber. While I understand the capex involved, I just don't see myself getting anywhere near those speeds in the foreseeable future.

    Jack,

    In this country I am resigned to the fact that we are stuck with single digit speeds, sad to say, and LOW single digit speeds. Though I do not need much speed as I rarely download anything, I have been forced to be contented with speeds that are a lot faster than dial-up. 64mbps is an incredibly insane speed which I think these islands will never see. As you said you are subscribed to 12 but get only around 2. I am subscribed to .5 for the last few years but get .3 as a bundle plan to my phone, and I was thrilled because it was heaven compared to dial-up. Now that .5 subscription broke down a few weeks ago due to the provider's so called migration of cable lines. Took them 10 days to fix it, in between I had to buy a USB broadband stick from a cellular phone provider which was slow when it rains hard. Now after 2 weeks of downtime, they 'upgraded' my plan to 1.5mbps but in actuality I get only 1mbps. I figure that may be better than paying 12 and getting 2. I wonder how Bruce's speed translate to downloading a 1 gig movie? 2 seconds?
