While the likes of Comcast (among others) won't have
DOCSIS 3.0 ready to
roll out until sometime next year, France's Numericable is already dishing out the high-speed goodness. Reportedly, the French cable operator has stretched its all-fiber network to Angers, Martigues, Marseille, Lille and Metz over the past month or so, bringing the total homes touched by said network to over two million. For the lucky residents of the aforementioned cities, they are now able to receive blazing fast internet (up to 100Mbps), HDTV, VOD and lots more. If your locale wasn't mentioned, take heart, as the company is purportedly aiming to reach some 70 cities by mid-year.

How much are they paying for telecom over there on DOCSIS 3 anyways? All fiber distribution is the future and has unlimited growth, just a matter of having the hardware to handle it.
