Nice speeds, here in germany 16mbit download/1mbit upload speeds are
what is called well equipped.   I use 1mbit down/128k upstream.

Wondering how you guys are using those nice lines?
Are there many offerings for tv-programs and video on demand over ip?
Are phone lines (other than mobile phones) still in wide use or 
replaced by voip over there?
