I would say that it looks like fiber to the home, which we have here in NB. Fibre Optic line directly into your house, carrying internet and digital tv signals. I don't have the tv, but I do have the net, and it's fast fast fast.

Bell FIBE is Fibre to the node, not the house.

As for Fibe TV, it's a variant of IPTV.

It's a stop gap measure until they can invest the capital to go the home.

Even with to the NODE though, you're able to get 50MB/s connections

"Lucent is our chosen DSL vendor, and is committed to deliver the gigabit bandwidth that we require for delivering services such as broadcast TV, as well as potential future offerings such as video-on-demand (VOD)," said Al Yam, general manager, Technology Development and Engineering, SaskTel. "Our significant investment in, and deployment of, Stinger technology allows SaskTel to deliver a portfolio of advanced services to our customers from the same Stinger platform. In addition, the ability to deliver these services on an environmentally hardened Stinger RT enables us to continue our deployment in outdoor locations to reach our remote customer base."
