Might Mid-Band Ethernet Make Copper Competitive With Fiber?

In a recent post, I posited that it was possible to take the entire bandwidth of a copper line and instead of making it voice, make it data and run VoIP over the top of it.

That was just a theory. The folks at Hatteras Networks actually have a way to accomplish that-at better speeds than I was proposing. Their Mid-Band Ethernet solution can use up to 8 copper pairs and aggregate that into about a T3-45mb/s symmetrical. Even with a single copper pair, they can get a very reasonable 5.7 mb/s-almost 4 times as fast as a T1 with only half the wires needed!

This proposition is clearly aimed at business-level customers, not us residential types. Too bad, because having 5.7 mb/s of symmetrical data transfer would be awesome!
