Ericsson Demonstrates 0.5Gbps Broadband Using Copper Wires

Our Comments

Ericsson has already said that it is working on a mobile broadband connection that could in theory reach 42Mbps download and 22Mbps upload respectively. The tests were carried out in Spain last month by Vodafone and showed that 3G HSPA+MIMO technology is mature enough for such speeds. However we are more excited about the possibility of downloading at 50Mbps on a cable line.
