Wake me when DSL/cable providers actually provide speeds even close to their current maximums. I have 8Mbps/768k service; I'd trade 1Mbps of my down speed to get to get a full 1.5Mbps up.

Unless you are in a niche market (FiOS, AT&T U-Verse) here in the US, you're probably not going to see these kinds of speeds any time soon. :(

Well this is nice. Considering how most DSL in America is non-capped bandwith-wise. This is a good thing. Maby this will let my DSL company go from 6mb to a 10mb or higher max speed with it's service.

His site is here http://jpap.andriopo.ulos.org/research.phtml

Unfortunately his thesis isn't on the site.

Check out his paper
http://jpap.andriopo.ulos.org/papers/icc-2006-dsl.pdf

My stupid interpretation:
It looks like he's doing something like they do in CDMA, power control for DSL? You periodically notify the central controller with some measure of your signal to interference ratio, you receive udpates from the central controller that tells you how to optimize your transmit power. Users closer to the CO don't overpower the signal of other users. Also overall interference is mimimized, with less interference the capacity/resource is maximized for all users... long live communism.

Anyway, I have no idea how DSL works, but the gains are very high, it looks like power update overhead won't eat the gains.

Ok 100mbps but at what range? Oh and if it requires interleaving forget it.

Like it or not P2P is going to grow even more in the future because it offloads bandwidth requirements from a site to its users.

Unfortunately, there is no point to have 100x faster internet when you will be restricted to surfing email (and in Canada not even encrypted email works on some ISPs due to throttling) and the plain internet with your blazing fast speeds.

No one says "Wow I can download email so fast," they want faster torrents!

Cool, Aussies can download their entire monthly quota in 15 minutes then, not an hour.

I like it when people make something useful with their thesis.

I tried, but ran out of time :(.

... and in the US, those speeds will either be unavailable or will cost hundreds of dollars per month.

Crosstalk is the limiting factor in a lot of communication domains, so depending on how generalizable his scheme is it might offer performance improvements in a lot of areas.

(BTW, what's with the "Next Top Model" shot of the guy in the SMH story?)
