The only headway that has been made in the market is from independant isps who have installed adsl2 and adsl2+ connections in certain exchanges, which can go up to 24mb/s.

The average person has dial up or adsl1, which is depressingly slow. I consider 512kbs to be 'good' Sigh.

Well, two persons in this thread has a more than 100 Mbps.

My cousin lives in an apartment connected to the university where he studies and got 100 Mps over optical cable. Optical cable is being installed on the island where I lives as well, such that 20 Mb/s is avaible. Faster than that only a few servers on the net will be able to deliver to you at such speeds, I`m afraid. The Org is a good example for such servers, unfortunately.
