jcz Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 (edited) Tomorrow Swedes living in Lund can upgrade their internet subscription from 10mbit to 1Gbps, which is quite some jump as 100mbit never was offered. The company to launch this service is Labs2, and it will spread all over Sweden in some time. Imagine the possibilities! HDTV and so much more, read more on www.labs2.se if you can read Swedish! And btw. Now we beat the korean again, not tiing ;) EDIT: Its only 90 EUROS PER MONTH (850 SEK) Edited November 30, 2004 by jcz Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/251091-1-gbps-for-swedish-home-users/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Seems kind of useless as there are hardly any places you can download at 1Gbps from, but innovation has to start somewhere i guess Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/251091-1-gbps-for-swedish-home-users/#findComment-585016713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
