ADSL to reach 100Mbps speed!

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, a 29-year old Australian wiz kid, Dr.Papandriopoulos, has found a way to squeeze more broadband juice out of your phone line, which will improve DSL speeds. Apparently, the technology eliminates a lot of the cross-talk interference and is easier to deploy than competing solutions. I'm amazed that our simple single-pair copper phone lines can carry 100Mbps of data across far distances from the CO (central office) to the home. I remember the days (1970s) when I was lucky to get 300 baud speed connecting to a local BBS (Bulletin Board System).

Dr. Papandriopoulos expects the technology to be deployed by ISPs in the next 2-3 years, which should give DSL providers a nice boost. Who needs FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) anyway?

Quote:
An Australian researcher is on the road to riches after discovering a way to make broadband connections up to 100 times faster.

University of Melbourne research fellow Dr John Papandriopoulos is in the throes of moving to Silicon Valley after developing an algorithm to reduce the electromagnetic interference that slows down ADSL connections.

Most ADSL services around the world are effectively limited to speeds between 1 to 20Mbps, but if Dr Papandriopoulos's technology is successfully commercialised that speed ceiling would be closer to 100Mbps. more...

Wow, a DSL Speed of 100 MBit/s would be great. Actual for private customers a speed of 50 mbps with VDSL is possible. An other problem will be the price for the highspeed DSL...sad

Did you know some actual stuff about the 100 MBit/s ADSL?
I found only information about fibre loop technologies, VDSL or LTE with 100 MBit/s. But I think a adsl 100Mbit technologie will be still the ideal solution for many telephone connections at the time.

Do you know how they are progressing on the 100Mbps ADSL 18 months on? If they can get those sorts of speeds from copper lines, the whole FTTH project seems very, very overpriced.
