Dr John Papandriopoulos, an Australian PhD student, has developed the technology to produce internet speeds up to 200 times faster than broadband. The amazing part is that it doesn't require a fiber optic network to make it happen. It will work over existing copper phone lines. Without getting into the rocket-science aspect of how it works, I'll just say that John's device revolves around anti-interference from your neighbors' phone calls. Look for it to go mainstream in about 3-4 years.
