    Actually true fiber i.e. digital in, digital out, is actually closer to a thousand times faster than cable and even the fiber that is currently in use now, i.e. analog in converted to digital, digital out converted to analog
    This is what's so phoney about the digital TV changover.... if you need a box for the new digital signal... it is taking an digital signal and converting it DOWN to analog for your TV... same with the satillite and cable co's saying they have a digital signal/network.... 90% of our devices are analog (still).... so sure, the signal that comes in to your home or car is digital but a chip or other hardware in your device converts it down to analog to read... we won't get true digtal devices for another 2-3 years (most of our cell phones being the exception of course).
