Super-fast Internet is coming over your phone line

Today, you have a choice between cable broadband Internet, which is expensive, or DSL Internet over your phone line, which is slow.

But soon, a new technology will be coming to your home that will offer Google Fiber-like speeds right over your phone line. It's called G.Fast, and Israeli chip maker Sckipio is showing off the powerful technology at CES this year.

In a demonstration, Sckipio showed off download speeds of nearly 750 megabits per second traveling over a standard phone line. That's 50 times faster than the broadband that you probably have coming into your home right now.

The promise of G.Fast is to offer an alternative to your broadband company. The technology will give your telephone provider the ability to offer even faster speeds than cable -- and they won't have to dig up holes in your yard to do it.

Sckipio says the G.Fast technology will debut in the United States later this year.
