But as far as I know it is the best. Why? How would you like a 1GB service for 89 euros per month? If I could sign up for that service in Madrid I would in a second. Labs2 is the only ISP who I know for which the WiFi signal at 54 megas is the bottleneck! And now Labs2 is a fonero ISP, we are partnering with them in Sweden.

This is the year in which Europe will either fall apart or emerged stronger. I give it 75% that it emerges as a stronger union but the risk of collapse is still there. Germany has the key to solve the problem because of the size of its economy, its saving rate and its export volume. Germany has to decide on whether it continues to transfer some of its wealth in order to create markets for its exports or it let’s Europe fall apart and ends up with an overvalued currency and deteriorated markets. Already today it started paying negative interest rates which is a prelude in my view to a huge rise in the DM should it be born again. Tough choice. I think Germany can actually both save Europe and make money by buying underpriced Italian and Spanish bonds and selling them after stabilization. It can do what the FED did with many financial institutions, make a profit by providing much needed liquidity at a critical time.

Did you say 1Gb? A Gigabit Ethernet connection to the Net? 1,024 Megabits per second? Symetric?
That’s unbelievable.
What’s the monthly bandwidth limit? There has to be a catch!

Its true, kind off. Only available in selected parts of the city “Lund”, a some 10000 households. The service is labeld “up to…” and the peering to the outside world is also a bottleck.

Actually the reach is far less than that.. Some 30 households can actually get the 1Gbit-service and as “kånkel” states the uplink for the _whole city_ (within the Labs2 network is 1Gbit).. Some 5000 customers (of various speeds/services) all together share this capacity..

What is more is that they are now doing 10Gb lines into people’s homes. The boss Jonas Birgersson has one and this makes his line faster than some countries have! I visited him and do you know what we did with that line? We played Dawn of War online and got spanked by some kids!
