Well, I am connected to it, via a whole bunch of hardware, but I dont know the exact capacity of it... All of it consists of fiber cable... Thats about as much as I know about them... :)

I mean that I am sure I have read about being able to get 10MB (100Mb) internet connections in sweeden. Not cheaply, but also not obscenely expensive either.


Ok, now I'm nitpicking, but isn't a 100mbit/s connection equal to ~12MB/s?

(100 000 kbps / 8 = 12 500 / 1024 = 12,2 MB/s).

Yeah, I just don't normally bother dividing by 8 unless I am being exact as it's easier to do 10 (although in this case it was because it was 10s and 100s).
