Reuters report that largely focuses on wireless broadband and smartphones is an interesting note. According to Reuters, AT&T "plans a residential broadband trial in June to allow Web surfing at speeds of 80 megabits per second." That's of course much faster than AT&T's top speed of 24 Mbps for their U-Verse service. However, it's not clear those speeds are even possible for most AT&T users given the company's decision to save money and use fiber to the node.
Right now I am getting VDSL2 Line 1 (inner wire pair) Down Max User Rate 43512 kbs. Now If ATT could find way to somehow magically Increase my VDSL2 Speeds to accommodate speeds of 80 megabits. I would upgrade in heart beat to the new tier. But I highly doubt I will ever see this speed tier ever made available to me, Not until ATT Switch to FTTH from FTTN.
So here is that so-called magic Technology Vectoring, originally championed by ECI Telecom Ltd. and standardized by
the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as G.vector last month
and as profile 17a in the DSL family, is a big improvement even on its
own, delivering 100 percent gain over standard VDSL2 in Alcatel-Lucent's
trials when it was applied to all pairs in a bundle. Others, including
both ECI and Ericsson AB, have demonstrated similar improvements in
trials. But vectoring gets a big boost if it's combined with
phantom-mode operation. Combined, these techniques should deliver at
least 100 Mbit/s on loops up to 1km long.

Big. Huge. Dramatic. Important.
Those four words are perfect adjectives to describe the meaning of San Jose’s 2-1 series-clinching win over Detroit in Game Five of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Those who questioned San Jose’s resolve and inability to capture a much needed win have been silenced.
“This is a very big win for our organization for a lot of different reasons,” Head Coach Todd McLellan said. “One, the opportunity to continue playing. Two, to shed some of the reputation that we have supposedly earned from the past.”
Not to mention beating the Detroit Red Wings, a team that has gone to
the last two Stanley Cup Finals and a club that eliminated the Sharks in
their last two playoff encounters. And also a team that has dominated
the Sharks (19-44-4-4) since San Jose entered the National Hockey League
in 1991.
Red hot Pride defeat Chicago Red Stars 2-0, extend win streak to 4 games
FC Gold Pride (4-1-0, 12 points) shut out the Chicago Red Stars (1-3-1, 4 points), 2-0, Saturday evening at Castro Valley Athletic Stadium. The victory extended FC Gold Pride's team record winning streak to four games and kept the Bay Area club in first place in the WPS standings.

DETROIT – One more win and the San Jose Sharks finally can put to rest their reputation as a talented team that can't win the big one, that too often underachieves in the playoffs following a stellar regular season.
Showing more resiliency and mental toughness than perhaps they are given credit for, the Sharks on Tuesday night staged a third-period rally before defeating the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 in overtime to quiet a sellout crowd at Joe Louis Arena and grab a 3-0 stranglehold on their Western Conference Semifinal series.
Joe Thornton fed Patrick Marleau on a 2-on-1 rush for a tap-in at 7:07 of the extra period to cap the Sharks' comeback from a 3-1 deficit.
The Sharks can clinch the series and advance to the conference finals by winning Game 4 here on Thursday
