Hi The Natural Philosopher

You can get at least 8 GBPS down a fiber.


You can get a whole lot more than that in one fibre! 100x 2.5Gbps channels
(wavelength division multiplexing). Way over the top for home use. 10Gbps
is probably more in the DIYer's range.



I wasn't going to complicate things with WDM. :-)

AND the MUX gear is not cheap for that. Last time I checked a single SDH
circuit was up to about 8Gbps. That's expensive enough!

BTW I think you meant 10Mbps for d-i-y, not 10Gbps. 10 GBPs is probably
the total UK internet bandwidth ;-)
