The Internet is a globally connected network of computers and devices. It looks more like a distributed filesystem sharing common communication protocols (such as HTTP, RTSP and FTP), and as such is often likened to a network of networks.

FTTH

Fibre-To-The-Home (commonly abbreviated FTTH) is a new ultra high-speed internet service which will be significantly faster than the current DSL, T1 and other high-speed internet offerings.

Speeds will vary based on the underlying infrastructure and usage, but Bell Aliant, for example, guarantees 20MBps download and 5MBps upload rates (as compared to 5MBps download and 1MBps upload rates in their best currently available high-speed offering).
