I love seeing developments like this, and while Frontier wouldn't be my first choice in provider, it's a good thing that even a historically poor performer like Frontier is pushing the boundary a bit.
What I don't love seeing is the same, predictable responses every time something like this is posted. It's always the same: "oh, they'll never be able to deliver", "their subscribers will never use it, why don't they stick with 50/10", "I get by just fine on my 100Kbps ADSL", "why would anyone want to stream video". I get it, as tech people, we're predisposed to being skeptical and questioning, but why the hostility to progress? Okay then, let's just stick with dialup, because that's only anything anyone will ever need, apparently. We should be celebrating anything that pushes the art forward.
The demand will be induced, the pipes will be filled. Let's think about applications that can actually take advantage of new capabilities like this, instead of pooh-poohing every little bit of change.
