"Which on will give you higher(much higher) bandwidth?"
Very well put. "Nothing beats the physics of the waveguide" (Ahhaha).
However before we get too cocky lets remember one simple fact: Superior marketing will defeat superior technology every time. I dont want to be Apple (Another comfortable name BTW) to AOL's IBM.
I just read an article about how Thomas Edison couldn't make any money on his invention of the phonograph. He had a far superior technical design that was recordable in the form of a cylinder. He imagined sending these cylinders instead of printed mail, the first "Voice mail". Problem was that that isnt what people wanted.
The winners (RCA) made a flat disc that had prerecorded music from big name musicians. They won big.
AOL & DSL are a real threat even though the technology is inferior.
