Huawei hurls Gigabit broadband across 100 meters of old copper

There’s little point in having a perfect-speedy optic backbone if broadband gets yellow-flagged at the final straight between junction box and residential. But Huawei claims it’s developed prototype DSL technology that may deliver 1Gb/s downstream and upstream over common twisted pair copper telephone cable for distances of as much as 100 meters. This can provide a “good value option for telecom operators building ultra-broadband access networks,” but will it’s enough to conquer America’s anxiety towards Chinese-made telecoms infrastructure? At least, some lucky people have had fiber-to-the-home Gigabit broadband for months already.
