I was at a camp recentley (3-4 weeks ago) and we had a talk from the guy who was head of ACS (Australianb computer society) and he was basicaly saying that Australia's current internet connections are crap and that what you really need these days is speed >10 and as even as high as 20. i dont know if this was exaduration or not but thats what he said. They have apprantley been baduraging the Australian goverment to upgrade such things. Few people know that they played a major role in implemention of the now strong stance on the use of camera phones. Fiber is the way of communications. My science knowledge is limited on new developments but as far as i know the speed of light is the fastest speed possable. If so lets just start lying as much fiber down as possable all over the place. the lines themself's i dont think would change that much just the way we send information along the lines. I think i can rember reading on here somewhere that scientsts are been able to get 100gb a sec over fiber lines or something with new tcp/ip standards
