Well, I think the original information message from Verizon said something
about up to 30 MBPS down stream.  That is five to twenty times faster than
most current cable systems.  And, about 10 to 40 times faster than DSL
systems.  That's humming along pretty quickly.

I download books through audible.com and would love to be able to suck a
hundred and 40 meg book down in about a minute.  Assuming their servers
could serve it up that quickly.

Later.
