DSL is poised to be made obsolete, everywhere. My biz is less than a few
hundred meters from the downtown switching  station and the fastest DSL they
claimed they could give me w…s 5Mbps  DL and 900kbps UL, even though I was
paying for a minimum 10Mbps level. 

Through a fluke chance of enquiring about fiber, I was told that I could get a
fiber feed and a speed of 30Mbps for both UL/DL for same price I was getting
the DSL.  So.. I said "let's do it".

You're probably getting a fiber-to-copper kind of termination that can
continue to use your existing phone wiring.

 WD> how much bandwith and speed does the residential customer require?

The biggest requirements might be if multiple family members want to each
stream their own movies and play games all simultaneously.
