Lucky son of a... Where do you live? One of the FTTP testbed areas?

My campus IT dept probably hates me >:D

Pyro: Hi, i live in Sweden. In the area where i live (one of MANY areas in my town) everyone has a 10 Mbit connx at a very low cost (42 $ US/month). With the option to upgrade to 100 Mbit (79 $ US/month). All with unlimited BW. :D
