p2pnet.net News:- Ethernet to the Home, a product developed by Finland`s Teleste, will mean broadband Net access via TV cables at speeds of up to 100 megabits per second as early as next year.

And that’s, 50 times faster than the average broadband speeds now offered to cable TV homes, says Reuters.

“This is a cost-efficient technology as we use the cable TV networks which are already in place,” it has Jukka Rinnevaara, ceo of Finnish broadband equipment maker Teleste, saying in a sponsored news story.

Teleste is running a field-trial with cable TV service provider Essent in Netherlands, but not yet at the top speeds it expects most homes will need in a few years time, says the story.

“Based on our research 30 Megabits per second is the absolute minimum in future homes, Teleste spokesman Pekka Rissanen is q uoted as saying.

Just one TV program would take 10-20 Megabits per second of this alone. So, very fast we would reach a need for 30 Megabits, and also for 50 Megabits per second”.

Rissanen said the cost of connecting a home with the new ethernet-to-the-home technology can vary between 50 euros ($60.28) and 200 euros ($241), adds Reuters.
