First European 1Gb/s Internet

Zon Multimedia in Portugal is planning to launch a 1Gbit/s Internet service in September, reports Julian Clover at Cable TV Europe and other sources.
This is a phenomenal rise in speeds, and will put pressure on other providers across Europe who have been talking about 100Mbit/s, which Zon launched in January.
The system, which runs over cable, has already been field tested.
These speeds will drive a whole new class of Internet connected services and devices over the next two to three years.
