The Hong Kong Broadband Network had today launched a 1000Mbps service today, rated at 166 times the downstream speed of its competitors ADSL telephone based service. The service usese essential all Cisco technology to create a city-wide Ethernet service, as used in offices and corporate sites around the world, but now expanded to encompass the whole city.
Admittadly Hong Kong is a special case with a supremely high density population which is a dream for this sort of networking objective, but it’s certainly a significant feat and something to look up to for the future. After all, here in the UK, 1 or 2Mbs is considered the ‘good’ standard.
