While the National Broadband Networks have been struggling to deliver a speed of just about 100 Mbps over a fiber network which is worth $43 billion, Alcatel - Lucent reportedly has come up with news that their research arm, which is called Bell Labs, has already made a breakthrough by demonstrating speeds of 300 Mbps.

The network that is used seems to be a copper wire and it seems to be quite similar to the network of Telstra who have connected to a lot of business and homes which are situated in Australia.

It has been reported that this is considered to be a huge breakthrough as it will probably be another tool that providers have been looking for and this way they can easily boost their bandwidth capacity with their copper assets which already exist.

This can be seen in a commercial aspect very soon but it seems that soon might come only by the year 2012 and it has been made very clear that the deployment of this would still remain a challenge when it comes to the market level.
