[tlug] ADSL or Hikari Fiber

[Lyle H Saxon <llletters@example.com>]

"What's this 20th century question doing in here?" I imagine some
(many?, most?) saying....

A couple of questions:

1) In practice, in the real world, is a 100M fiber optic cable split
eight ways really a lot faster than a dedicated 12M ADSL connection?

2) How is the connection handled?  With typical ADSL, you toss in an
Ubuntu disk, and you're on-line.  Does it work this way with Hikari
Fiber, or do you have to manually set things up to connect?
