Hi all.

For... $85(70 Euros) a month you also get free phone and TV. From the article (in French): "The historical operator opted for a GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) FTTH architecture (Fiber To The Home). This technology allows up to 2.5 Gbits/s download and 1.2 Gigabits/s upload.""

But then, isn't France the country where it is illegal to use encryption? No more SSH?

Besides that, in France it is illegal to distribute software that allows the transfer of pirated works. This might enclose programs such as "Azureus", "Firefox", "wget", "ftp"... (shall I go on?)

CU, Venty

P.S. About Azureus: Try downloading the DVD image of Kubuntu without using Bittorrent. Good luck.
