KW> 1999. 784k/384k ADSL. How far we've come!

  Indeed. I originally had a 2/.5M abb in 2002 (when my 2xIDSN abb with two additional copper wire pairs connected to my house, was cancelled). It eventually was updated, step by step, to an incredible 8/2M abb on the same pair of copper wires. At the cost of EUR40 per month, when the average cost for fibre was EUR20.

  Well, after a long (almost like GigaBerlin now) incredible fight, we eventually got our fibre here, in the outskirts of G�teborg, almost ten years ago.

  And here I was with ten (!) *pairs* of copper wires ("for future use, you damn line user") connected to my house. Oh, how nice it was to cut that huge cable at my property border, and clean out all the shit, needed for ISDN and then ADSL to work, on my wall.  :)
